[K12OSN] Squid and dansguardian

[Lee Myrick]

Hello all,

Okay, I just got our k12ltsp network setup and running (woohoo! 
pictures can be found at http://renarts.org/technology.php ).

Now I'm on to part two of the project: We currently have a dsl line 
coming in for internet access (works fine with the server just setup 
for dhcp connection). Now I want to setup Squid and Dansguardian. From 
what I've read on this list, it seems the best way to do this is with a 
separate box. I have an extra Compaq PIII box that should work. I'd 
also like this box to be an mail server if possible.

I'm not new to Linux, but I'm new to a project this large, so forgive 
me if I'm asking newbie questions: I'm trying to get the physical 
configuration down as I haven't seen any talk about this part of 
setting up a proxy box.

Question 1: Does the squid/dansguardian box need two nics? One for dsl 
in and one out to ltsp server?

Question 2: Is it feasible to do squid/ dansguardian and a mail/ftp 
server on the same box?

thanks,
