RouterOS + proxy = file server??

Sun Oct 04, 2009 2:50 am

Hi again,

I'm trying to create a makeshift file-server using routeros, ROS proxy, and a big HD. See, my clients regularly download program updates from the company's main db in another city, and also there's the AV updates, windows updates, etc, etc. I'm thinking of using the HD to save these updates locally, so that my clients can just get these updates from the proxy. Bandwidth is very expensive where I live... :(

Anyway, I read somewhere in the manual that I can tell the proxy to cache (and not to cache) certain requests. I think it's in Cache Management (/ip proxy cache) or something (I'll go and check it out later. I'm writing this at 6 in the morning and I need my sleep... ^^). Anyway, I tried adding something like this:
/ip proxy cache> pr det
1 src-address=192.168.1.0/24 path=*.exe action=allow hits=0

I tried downloading an exe file from download.com, but for some reason it's not showing up in the cache-contents, and the hit counter also stays at 0. What am I doing wrong here?

Anyone?

download requests to download.com does not contain *.exe in the link.

No? D'oh! That's why it doesn't show.

Anyway, tried downloading something too earlier, from http://www.pctools.com/mirror/rminstall.exe, it also doesn't show in the cache-content. Weird.

Anything I'm doing wrong?
