Re: Network Setup Opinion Needed- For Mr.Crucificator

[Harish Sabnani]

Hi Well I thought of squid bcos of caching abilities,I am sure I would not want to tighten anything as all ports will have to be open and hence NAT is very good at that,as I have tried it on my small network (one Linux Box,with one winXP Cleint). The Idea of having three networks is to divide the load on the Network as all requests from 50 Nodes on one network will come at Eth1 which will get NATTed thru Eth0(the Public Interface or the  ISP).By having three networks the load will get dividded between Eth1,Eth2 and Eth3. Is there anything else you need to know from me ?Pls let me Know, I will try to explain.   Thanks   Harish     ----- Original Message ----- From: Crucificator To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, September 30, 2003 8:04 PM Subject: Re: Network Setup Opinion Needed Hy Harish,   1. Why NAT and Squid? You should use NAT OR Squid. If you have say a internet cafe where the users will want to use every software that needs every port you should use pure transparent NAT. On the other hand if you want things a little more tightened you should use Squid. 2. On the other hand do you have 3 separate connections to your ISP to create 3 groups? It's a false problem. Maybe you intended to say something else and I couldn't understand. Be more precise.   Good luck
