Re: http proxy
Hello Sid Can't you just open those ports for those hosts on the firewall ?

I see no particular reason (other than religion) to not simply leave the NT system the way it is (your customer already paid for it) and just slip the Linux box in between the NT and the Internet. Let it do the WWW proxying using Squid, and use some firewalling rules to allow only the NT box to talk to the rest of the world on the SMTP port. Alternatively, you can block that off and set up Sendmail to relay mail between you and the rest of the world. It is relatively easy - just define the Linux system as the relay for the regular mail server, adjust the spam blocking rules to allow your site to use the system for relay, then configure the MAIL_HUB (or possibly LUSER_RELAY, which would be an interesting way of doing this) in the M4 sources, so all your incoming email gets delivered to the existing mail server. Then rebuild your sendmail.cf file. This is probably the minimum of disruption, since you can test if it works under unloaded conditions (i.e. when everyone went home for the night) and it only has to talk to the NT server, not to all the possible clients. E-mail seems to work, I can get/send mail, but only if I use [ ] around the IP, ie me@[1.1.1.1]. The way my boss wants it to work is It's supposed to be that way. Mail to IP addresses has to have those brackets. Mail to regular named addresses won't have this problem. that we keep the current local connections to the NT server, as this is the config our customers have, we move the modem to the Linux box, make the NT server point to the Linux box, and Linux to our ISP.

Re: HTTP Proxy
Thanks to all thoes who responded I have now down loaded squid, and am trying to configure it :) NB. Just a note to clear up any questions about what I'm trying to do. We currently have an NT/95/Novell network with an NT box as the web/mail server. We require a firewall to protect our site (don't ask me why, we got noth'n here :) The cost of US$2000+ for an NT firewall makes the option too expensive for us. So how are we gonna firewall? Linux! So I need to replace mail/web services, we don't need a web server as we don't have, and will not have, externally available resources. The set up is a nightmare! I can't replace the NT server until the Linux box is complete, so I'm trying to configure it inside the network, to work outside the network AAAH. The E-mail seems to work, I can get/send mail, but only if I use [ ] around the IP, ie me@[1.1.1.1]. The way my boss wants it to work is that we keep the current local connections to the NT server, as this is the config our customers have, we move the modem to the Linux box, make the NT server point to the Linux box, and Linux to our ISP. I know! A proxy pointing to a proxy to a proxy! But the customer is _always_ right. Stupid, uninformed, pig headed, but none the less right! So that is my mission, I am working here part-time, finishing my Uni degree, and trying not to stuff up the network :} A lot of our customers are connecting to the web and want a cheap/effective proxy/firewall solution, if I can get this thing to run reliably we might even be able to sell a few. I am setting this up on an OLD 486, we may be able to offer solutions for under A$600, the Ozzy $ is ~66 US cents! This is much cheaper than any other solution we have seen. Now if only it works ;) Thanks, Jeff. Jeffrey Fearn. GWR Com Cor Australia.

Re: HTTP Proxy
squid is a good proxy server out there. I don't understand your question. You don't need a server, just a proxy??? bug Jeffrey Fearn wrote: Hi!

Re: HTTP Proxy
If you are talking about a Web caching proxy, Apache supports this feature. If you are talking about a security proxy, check www.tis.com for the firewall toolkit. Jeffrey Fearn wrote: Hi!
