Yes, you'll notice things are a bit quicker, especially if your proxy has a massive cache that isn't expiring off the graphics from every page. > If I should use a proxy, which one should I get? bind9 for dns, squid for webcache, leafnode for news should be suitable for most users. If the machine the modem's on is a dedicated box, feel free to really crank up the cache on squid and feel the speed gain on pages you frequent. -- Baloo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
