I recently switched our Linux-Box to FreeBSD, and even though I have
managed to connect to our local ISP and activated HTTP, FTP, GOPHER
and WAIS proxies (W3 http & PPP) we wish to extend this into a
full-featured TCP-IP services proxy.
I tried SOCKS5, but it seemed rather complicated and possibly
representing some considerable load with the W3 http cached proxy on
top, and IPFW underneath, so I would like to ask could anyone provide
me with a "straighter" path like we had with Linux IP_MASQUERADE, or
alternatives.
Thanks in advance
