If he is with a school system in the US he probably has to filter all internet
traffic for content to insure the kiddies dont stumble on something bad, or get
stalked in a chat room. Henrick is right though, Im not sure there is a good
way to do it with a transparent proxy. Ive been thinking about using a radius
server or NTLM (I think) and making everyone have a username and password to
get to the internet. But, that would be quite a nightmare to set up. If I was
running Novell, Id use bordermanager and Novells transparent proxy, so everyone
would have to login to a server in order to do anything network wise.
Unfortunately I have Apples Computers, Windows Computer and Linux so I cant yet
use Novell. Keep us posted on what you find out. Im sure Im not the only
network admin at a school that is curious how to keep kids (and teachers) from
Skirting around the Internet filter.
