I found this example on the web.School Proxy server
And although i thought that proxy servers should always be at a central point on the network, the above network implies that it can be situated anywhere on the lan as long as it is directly connected to the router.
So if this is correct i plan to implement the following:
My planned home network
which i would utilise a dedicated PC to handle the web proxy server, as well as a file server for music,pics, software and also run utorrent or Shareaza plus weekly backups of a few PCs.
Further info: The wireless router Asus WL500g is running DD-WRT firmware and i plan to enable QoS and bandwidth monitoring/shaping. I am about to read about IP tables as i believe that this is required for the proposed set up.
The Server would be running XPpro SP2 with something like Janaserver2 handling the proxy server. ( I realise that there are a number of Linux solution available but i want to exhaust this avenue first of all)
Can anyone please confirm if this is completely viable in the proposed config.
Thanks in advance.
