One other thing is that Squid in particular has a web accelator mode that I haven't personally played with. If you install two NIC's and route between them, Squid is supposed to be able to transparently cache on whatever ports you tell it... I may have misunderstood this option, but it's worth looking into as well..:) Paul -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Jeff Lynch Sent: July 24, 2001 2:05 PM To: Paul Robinson Cc: freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Web Caching Engine On Tue, 24 Jul 2001, Paul Robinson wrote: > On Jul 24, Paul Stewart <pauls@nexicom.net> wrote: > > > Personally, I would buy a good layer 4 switch (Foundry is my personal > > favourite) and then run an array of Squid boxes peering off one another... > > Do you know if there is any code that will allow you to do L4 switching with > a FreeBSD box and a bunch of NICs?

Disclaimer, we don't have any experiences with either, so this is not necessarily a recommendation but something to take a look at. --jeff ============================================================================ Jeffrey A.
