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.
