Can anyone recommend some Proxy Servers?

Intrested in stand alone units, not a server running Netscape or Microsoft proxy servers.

 

You could try Squid on an stripped-down Linux box. We run it here and it's very good

A stripped down Apache makes a good proxy too

 

Good ideas but I just have too much otherwork to dooooo..

Looking at a simple slot in solution like the cobalt cachraq or something similar.

 

I've had nothing but bad experiences with Cobalts, even after Sun bought them. You can get squid/apache up and running in 20 minutes, got that long?

Steve.

 

20 Minutes!!! Ack! Far too long

Having a peruse through the web and its suprising how many web caching vendors have gone down the pan. A pure http caching server is old hat, it seems you need more bells and whistles to sell...take the cacheflow for instance.

 

Feathers,

In the amount of time you've wasted posting on here, you could've had a Squid server up and running by now

BTW, I'm running RedHat 7.1 and Squid Cache 2.4 STABLE v7. Took me 30mins to install and get working and I know **** all about Unix.

Stop fannying around and get on with it

-faints-

Its no good. I've got to keep away from building one myself. Don't get me wrong theres nothing wrong with twiddling with Linux and doing it (I built all our dns servers on Linux boxes) but it won't cut any cheese with the IT people that I'm trying to convince.

I'm going to spend the next 20 minutes boggling up on wccp so there!

 

Don't your IT bods realise that Sun Cobalts are built around Linux kernels?

Anyway, what about this http://www.netapp.com/products/#netcache

Stefan

 

Try NetCache from Net App.....not cheap though

Or you could have a look at http://www.appliansys.com for their CacheBox200. We can supply this if its of interest.
