We have 100Mb broadband
Bl**dy hell!!! really?!?!
What are you using to see whether a user has visited a site, what is
your reporting tool?
Our users authenticate with the proxy, and that is what tells us what
they've been doing, and controls their access.

Well currently we don't have one! At least not on site - Each
client has an
ip in the range 10.112.44.x with the proxy being at a remote
site. It all
seems to work quite happily though. . Someone told
our head of it that our proxy would be slowing it down (which I
had my
doubts about but still...) so we had the upheaval of changing it
all about
so that each client talked directly to our broadband providers
proxy.
I'm not sure that the way you have yours is suitable for us
though. Let me
clarify:
I need to be able to say that user x did/did not look at the
site
www.somethingdodgy.com
I don't want each user to have a "Windows account" and a "Linux
Account" so
want to be able to use the username/password from the win2k
domain. for
both. It is each individual user that needs to authenticate.
cheers,
Dan

But do all the up stream connections have gigabit? If not you will
surely get limitations in downloads etc from other sites with slower
connections. Mind it should still enable masses of user simultaneous
fast parallel connections. As a matter of interest, who is the ISP and
how much does it cost?

IIRC Chris uses UKERNA. Though 1G sounds like a direct connection onto the SuperJANET backbone. Most likely through UMCC, which IIRC is a JANET regional NOC site. -- Mark Evans St. Peter's CofE High School Phone: +44 1392 204764 X109 Fax: +44 1392 204763
