Very Computer

In particular, what I would like to do is to have the proxy server dial up
the ISP, if necessary, when accessed remotely.  Right now, the 1.3b2 version
of apache for NT doesn't have the proxy stuff compiled in, and even if it
were, I don't see the directives to allow dialing out to an ISP, with
passwords etc.

The Win95 makefile doesn't work for configuring new modules into Apache, and
I just haven't had time to fix the makefile.  Sounds like it is possible,
and I'll send out the information when I can get it fixed.  I did compile
the source.  Is there any special Apache setup required for the Linux
autodial?

Thanks!

Apache can act as a proxy server so that clients inside your
network can make HTTP requests to the world via a single
computer, yes.  Having it connect automatically is an issue with
making NT do so when there is traffic.  

I'm not sure what you are talking about "the 1.3b2 version ...
doesn't have the proxy stuff compiled in."  Of course it doesn't
because there is no binary.  If you are using some third party
binary that you didn't compile yourself then you are own your own
with it and any viruses or trojans that you may get from it.

And i think that WinGate is using this to autodial and connect to the ISP.

On my little network at home i have a Linux machines that dials my ISP whenever
it's sees a request to a IP-number outside my network, so it's possible!
