anything that ur gonna use depends a lot on your needs, so does all these PCs need to access the net? do they need only web browsing....? or do they need more???malkavi said:We are using 256kb leased line....and have 4 networks.......one is remote network wich is connected through fiber line....and there is around 400 pc's.....

using a DNS server will definitly increase your net access speeds. u can use NAT or a proxy to let all ur mashines to access the net.... but it depends on your needs. as this is a large env i think NAT will be better and faster.. now you have to have a nice router in place for this or else there wont be much difference...malkavi said:We are using 256kb leased line....and have 4 networks.......one is remote network wich is connected through fiber line....and there is around 400 pc's.....

i guess some proxy servers can handle this... but it will be less efficient than NAT.. i guessmalkavi said:But machan we are using some internet applications........

u r correct. but hardware NAT will be much faster?mlakmal said:u can use sock and htp proxsies at da same time which will do ur job
and proxy servers come with DNS and NAT capability

i really don't know! hehe... and you know what.... may be you can use a open source router solution here. it will be very fast and cheapmlakmal said:if u hav a gud server dat doesnt matter ne![]()
and soft can b managed much easier![]()
hehe but still if your NAT is done with ICs it will be much faster than any soft.. cause its wire speed. 
what to do... i can't have a router or two in my house ne!
