Please, brief me your ideas. > Mohan 15 LAN hosts, especially if all have internet access, are a fair amount of stations for considering running a caching name server on the gateway host. Such a caching name server saves traffic and bandwidth and thus improves internet access speed. yum install caching-nameserver On the LAN clients point the DNS setting to the gateway host who has the caching nameserver running. I would too consider to use squid as a caching proxy on the DSL gateway. yum install squid You will have to configure squid a bit (ACLs at least). Either in the client browsers you will have to define the gateway as a proxy or by using iptables redirection make the gateway a forced, transparent proxy.
