just the default cacheing server out of mandrake 9.0. My firewall uses
the ones from my ISP and then all client machines use the Firewall for

I used the Same setup at my last wage slave job. I had about 80 clients
over 5 t1 locals hitting it (amd k62/300) 64 megs of Ram. It did dhcp,
DNS,Httpd, and NAT and never a hicup over 2 connections, one a 768k
leased and a 1.5 cable to the inet.
