Good day everyone.

I have search the FORUMs, but can not get to the specifics behind this...

My scenario:
1. I have my own proxy server on a dedicated 256k line that manages 100+ email and http clients, using a LINUX server. This connection has it's own Cisco router.
2. I have 7 ADSL clients throughout South Africa using PROXY+ (http://www.proxyplus.cz) as a email client. (These clients are all XP users with +/- 5-7 users on the LAN.)

I need to know, on the ADSL client side, how to change the default (transparant SAIX) proxy, to the proxy on my dedicated 256k line.

What I do not want to run is a client, but rather how to do this physically (by using the "cmd" command prompt) on the XP machines.

What I do not need is to know how to use P2P SW, as this technology is not in use on these clients...

Thank you for your time

The transparent proxy does not exist. Well - what I mean is that you cannot do anything about that, it's handled by SAIX's routing, and you cannot bypass it, unless you want to "tunnel" past it using a port other than port 80 for HTTP requests.

Put - proxyplus is stackable isnt it? i.e. You can configure proxyplus to get it's data from another proxyplus proxy on any port you want.

So - stack the client's proxyplus's to get from a proxyplus that you've installed on the 256 line. Local routing should not use the SAIX transparent proxy server, so it should work fine, and international users will brobablee be using a transparent proxy on their isp's side, which you can do nothing about.

Otherwise, setup a VPN and force all the clients to use the same VPN, but that's going to waste bandwidth.
 
Thank you stroke. I do believe this is the right answer I was looking for.

Will start testing on Monday and report back ;)
