Should I use a proxy? DNS cache?
I have a small home lan that is routed to the internet through a machine that
provides IP masquerading with kernel 2.4.18 iptables. The gateway machine
connects to the net with a 56k modem. There are three client machines, plus the
gateway for a total of four machines.
Presently I am using neither a proxy nor a DNS cache. Would it help things to
use them? I can see how having a DNS cache would help when my ISP's nameserver
goes down, which it seems to quite a bit.
If I should use a proxy, which one should I get?
