Re: Proxy server with Apache

[Shao Zhang <shao@cia.com.au>]

Hi,
	apache is a really a web server. AFAIK, it has very limited features to be a proxy server.
	If you are using debian, make sure the module is installed.

	For a better proxy server, I suggest you to try out squid. There is a debian package for it.

	Hope this helps.
Shao.
