IPTABLE FOR RH - LINUX 9.0
Dear All Support,
I have RedHat Linux 9.0 installed on my Pentium 4 PC. I would like to have it running as a proxy server. Which package is best to utilize for this issue ( IPTABLES or SQUID PROXY? ). If so, How can I do the configuration.
Here is my current Network Infrastructure:
1. RedHat 9.0 Server:
=> Local DNS Server
=> Local Sendmail Server
=> Local Apache Web Server
=> DHCP
=> Samba
+=> ( IPTABLES or SQUID PROXY ) I would like to add this feature to my RH- Server, so that everyone on the network could access to the Internet. At the moment my network is using a 56K dialup to connect to the internet and receive E-Mails, but very soon we will have a fractional T1 implementing to our LAN.
Could someone please help me to resolve this problem? I deeply appreciate your help.
PS. Right now I will post this question with a 100 expert points, it will be double up once the problem is resolved.
Thank you in advance,

Thank you in advance,
SQUID is the best proxy solution for web caching , but if you need other services such as icq , instant messaging , irc , and full functional internet access you need NAT solution - iptables

Let's pick SQUID if it's an ideal web server! How may I approach the configuration process? Do I need to install any additional package beside RH Linux 9?
Please give me some configuration sample.
Thank you the respond.

SQUID is not a webserver it is proxy server for web caching.
For web server use Apache
For web server use Apache

I apologize about my wording! However I think you know what I mean by webserver:
Server --> Sharing --> internet connection with multiple clients.
I used iptables before but it doesn't help function properly. It takes a lot of time to recognize clients. If thinking about converting to SQUID Proxy. Could you help me with the configuration?

Just open th configuration file and go ahead.
There is a explanation for each directive and configuration options
And iptables is not so confusing
if you want to use private range of addresses just run this:
iptables -t nat -I POSTROUTING -s 192.168.0.0/16 -j MASQUERADE
and that is all

Here is the problem with my existing NAT iptables:
All the client are logon to the domain before the ( NAT ) server is dialup. When the server is dialup all clients need to restart to refresh their IP addresses. All client doesn't have permission to renew ( ipconfig /renew or release) IP address. It must be done with an administrator account.
Is there any way I can resolve this problem? If so, how do I approach it?
Please help, thank you.
