Wish List PPPoE + VLAN
Posted: Sun Apr 23, 2006 12:05 am
It would be cool if there was a way to open up a number of seperate proxy seervers based on the outgoing interface/gateway. We have one MT box that serves a couple of PPPoE realms and based on the realm spits the connection out the various gateways. Problem is that if we try and use a proxy it captures the connection and pulls the data from what it thinkgs the gateway is.
As I see it the option to open up a couple of squid sessions with diferent port and config files seems to be the best way to handle this. Yes i know that this would consume more in the way of resources but lets face it if you are running MT with a proxy there is a good chance you have a seperate HDD and heaps of ram. And if you are not and you really want to run a proxy you can have the option to only open up one connection.
This seems far simpler than trying to source route/nat off the back of the squid server.
