    Thank you,  Squid and Freshmeat sound like interesting enough names to
    investigate !  I will check them out to see if I can find a simple\cheap
    proxy solution.  Thanks

    Red Hat 6.0 includes Squid, a pretty impressive proxy server with good cache
    support. It can be set up for fairly basic use without much effort. more
    info at http://www.squid-cache.org or you can go someplace like
    http://www.freshmeat.net and look at a half dozen alternatives, some
    significantly simpler.

    Hi, I am interested in setting up a proxy server for our office network.
    Because of the low cost of Linux, I was interested in using it as a proxy
    server.  Could anyone provide me with concerns and obstacles to look our
    for in this project?  Is Linux a good solution for a proxy server?
    
    Does anyone know of a URL or step-by-step guide to setting up Red-Hat or
    some other distribution of Linux as a proxy server?  Thank you very much !
