Hi all,

I have a couple of questions about IP masq and squid

I am about to setup a machine to act as a gateway for about 15 clients with 
Telstra BPD. Now I realise that I can just get a subnet of internet 
routeable addresses from them but I would rather learn how to use IP MASQ 
and do it that way.. thus the following questions:

1. in the past I have setup aliases on eth0, eth0 being the connection to 
the LAN, these aliases have been for example for mail, nameserver and www. 
now if I am going to be using a private subnet for the lan, eth0 must then 
have a private address, my question is then if I still want to setup my 
aliases for the machine do I or can I rather, set them up on the ppp0 
connection, or can I still set them up on eth0??

2. If I use squid and explicitly only want www traffic to go through to the 
outside world, do I have to actually MASQ the traffic, or if the clients are 
using squid on the gateway will that cover it automatically??

Thanks to anyone who can offer some views on these questions,

Regards,

Michael
