Hello.
I have some questions for anyone knowledgable about running a proxy server
on a PC for a home network. With a current-generation PC, how much of a
performance hit would you expect on a 1.5MB cable connection compared to a
router? Can this be improved if the PC uses a dual-port network card -- one
port to the cable model and the other port to a hub? Are there any dual-port
network cards optimized to be used in conjunction with proxy server software?
Any other suggestions or recommended configurations?
Thanks - Dave
