If you have more than one or two end destinations at a given site, you might want to extend the above solution a bit. Run some sort of small, non-caching, http proxy on the netXXXX and point the SSH tunnel at that. Then configure your local browser to use localhost:8000 as a proxy. You should then be able to surf to all the remote web configs at a site w/o rebuilding the tunnel for each. -Jed _______________________________________________ Soekris-tech mailing list [email protected] http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
