Subject: OT: Router Configuration
SparcStation 2 with Solaris 7, of course some Pentium
(and below)
computers,
etc. available but I am clueless on what type of
software could be used
to
set this up. I would also like to put up a web server
that most likely
would
only be accessable (for the time being) from inside. My
knowledge in the
area of setting something like this up is pretty small. Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Low end pentium running whatever you knew well.
I've tried W95(custom install, minimal system) with AnalogX Proxy server
on the DSL with good results with a 486dx/66 and 16mb ram.
NT4/WS running analogX Proxy was better on the 486dx/66 FYI.
There is LRP (Linux router project) and I'm sure FreeBSD and the right
stuff works well for this too.
Most anything works but what software is mostly a case of what you
know (can buy) and and configure. NAT/Router/Bridge/proxy/firewall
things do not that seem all that cpu intensive.
