Re: [afnog] Red Hat 8.0 as a router

[Daniel Obuobi <dobuobi at yahoo.com>]

The ASCII diagram on the network is shown below. I
hope it will look presentable.


      INTERNET INTERNET INTERNET
        /
       /
 LINUX(ROUTER)-<--PROXY(SQUID) PROXY(SQUID)   MASQ PC 
                 /              /               /
                /              /               /
         PC-PC-PC-PC-PC     PC-PC-PC-PC      PC-PC-PC


1)The Linux router I want to set up and the proxy pcs
and the masq pc uses the ip 10....x
2) The pcs behind each proxy have private ips eg
192.168...x
3) So traffic are directed from the pcs to proxy etc
and from the proxy to the router which are on the same
network. Of course the router will be acting as the
DNS for the time being.

Thanks
