hello ppl
I have a 512k leased line...for internet access.right now i am using the NAT feature of the router(i dont have a CISCO router, other wise i guess i could use router feature for redirection) to give access to the internet.Is is possible to setup linux multihomed box...acting as the default gateway (instead of the current router) & proxy, masq and caching server..so that i can save bandwidth and log all the user activities..please give u r inputs..I have 32 public ips. i guess an extra hop wouldt make any difference.
Current setup Router <---> hub <---> users
Suggested setup
Router (s0 wan port ip, eth0-public ip) | Linux Multihomed Box (eth0- public ip, eth1- private ip) | Hub | Users
