oh well, just wondered if there was a way to get squid to keep the original IP. I'm currently working on a fully automated mac address authentication, bandwidth control thing for WISPS - it takes a csv from rodopi and modifies it's iptables and htb rules according to the latest client data. In fact, we're starting to migrate today. If anyone wants to take a look at the script, mail me and I'd be glad to send it.

All squid traffic will have as source address the squid box, so you can't know who is doing what. But squid can also do bandwidth management. Take a look at delay pools, Stef -- stef.coene@xxxxxxxxx "Using Linux as bandwidth manager" http://www.docum.org/ #lartc @ irc.openprojects.net ************************************************************** Scanned by MailScan Content-Security and Anti-Virus Software.
