Please can anyone advise me if it is possible to set up my only linux box as a router, a proxy server, and a DNS server.Yes, this is fairly easy. Routing is already built-in (although RH might not turn it on by default), you just need to setup IP addresses, routes and perhaps a firewall or NAT with iptables.
Squid is a common proxy server to use, and Bind is a popular DNS server.
In addition to this I want to use it to implement my bandwidth management> using the qdisc?
I'm not sure the easiest way to do this.
You need a kernel that supports the right qdiscs and QoS functionality.
Does anyone know if this is standard with Red Hat 9.0 ?
and then you also need the user-space applications - I would assume there is an RPM for these, or some other binary to download.
> Also I need information that ccan help me especially to
configure the Linux router, I intend to use Red Hat Linux 9.0.
There is a lot of information about this - most linux computers are used in similar ways. just use google.
