I want to do all of the following on my Fedore core 4 box.

1. Gateway to the Internet. (4 Network Cards)
eth0 = local LAN
eth1 = VOIP
eth2 = Internet
eth3 = Wireless Access Point
2. DNS caching only server
3. Firewall (shorewall)
4. squid proxy server.
5. DHCP server (on eth0)
6. Network Management and monitoring (ntop)
7. Bandwidth Metering (MRTG)

Is there anyone that have done this b4? if yes a link to doing all of this or a sample working config file to do all of this will be highly appreciably.

Although, I have implemented all in my box, but I am having issue with just my squid proxy server. I am running squid-2.5.STABLE9-7 (that comes with Core 4)which I then upgraded to squid-2.5.STABLE13. the issues are as follows;

a. my web pages are opening slowly.
b. I discovered that even when I stopped squid, I can still browse slowly. (is squid working at all?)
c. I tried accessing cache manager, i keep getting Access denied.
d. I have act as a router as YES on my network config with the IP address of my modems gateway on eth2 as my default route. (is this ok?)
e. I did not specify any IP address in my "dynamic route" and "static route". (what will I put here is any? if I have eth0 = 192.168.200.254, eth1 = 192.168.50.254, eth2 = ISP public IP. and eth3 = 192.168.50.254 as explained above).

As of this writing every other config is working fine except that my squid is acting slowly.

I look forward to sharing knowledge with any one on this.

Cheers.

Any one can help me pls...

I need help pls...

I think you need specify static route for 4 Network Cards.(only one static route).

and I have other suggestion to change your design. you can use VMware to create several dummy-servers.(one for DHCP server,other for squid proxy server.....)
I think it is easy to maintain this servers in one box.

Hi all,

Thanks for that advice (ssscan). After hours of browsing thru so many configs, i found some working solution. But the issue remaining now is this.

My squid is working but not allowing users to login with either their yahoo ID at mail.yahoo.com and hotmail.com. What I also noticed immediately is that my squid proxy is not allowing https to pass thru. I have tried "Allow CONNECT" in my acl, but it still didn't solve it. Please what can can i do regarding this.

Cheers.

Squid2.4 on linux7.2 with degist auth:
groupadd squid
adduser -g squid -d /dev/null -s /sbin/nologin squid
rpm -ivh squid-2.4.STABLE1-5.i386.rpm
chkconfig squid on
in /etc/squid.conf:
http_port 3128
cache_mem 20 MB
maximum_object_size 4096 KB
maximum_object_size_in_memory 30 KB
dns_nameservers 172.16.240.221 61.177.7.1
authenticate_children 5
acl password proxy_auth REQUIRED
authenticate_program /usr/bin/ncsa_auth /etc/squid/passwd
http_access allow password
http_access deny all
cache_mgr robinsonl@sz.webex.com
error_directory /var/log/squid/errors
cp /usr/lib/squid/ncsa_auth /usr/bin/
cp htpasswd /usr/bin (from apapche on linux7.2)
htpasswd -c /etc/squid/passwd test
squid -z
service squid start

sorry ssscan, I didn't get that. What I need is what acl will allow my https to login/yahoo.com and hotmail.com.

Cheers.
