Hi again,

It�s me Chris, FodderNZ (as in cannon fodder, and yes from New Zealand!) I had the centos dhcp, squid script in the bash competition. However I couldn�t get it to work nicely� I think it was maybe dns as sometimes I could get to pages and other times the request wouldn�t show up in squid.. but couldn�t get to the bottom of it, if anyone wants to look at my script and lend a hand it still on slexy � link below!! So I went to pfsense. My slexy posts are here

To Allan�s comment - I did previously run the pfsense machine on top of an Ubuntu host as a VM, and worked very well but I am a tinkerer, and it seems physically impossible for me to follow the rule �If it �aint broke, don�t fix it�. I end up following �If it aint broke, keep playing until it is�

Thanks to Josh4trunks replying to my last post, I have been playing with vanilla FreeBSD jails to perfect the art before touching my smoothly running pfsense laptop.

I�d appreciate your thoughts on this, is it a good way to go? Do jails take more resources than just running the application on the base OS? If I create jails and update / patch the base OS, are the jails also updated, or do they become their own individual OS (I would imagine so as they are a jail right?)

Thanks as always, I have learnt so much from your shows and enjoy listening to you as genuine, interested and enthusiastic enthusiasts!
