Install Unbound DNS server in FreeBSD 9
Now it’s turn to install Unbound DNS server in FreeBSD 9. Unbound is alternative DNS server software under a BSD license. It is clamed as secure and fast resolving/caching DNS Server. Unbound is developed and maintained by NLnet Labs, it based on ideas and algorithms taken from a java prototype developed by Verisign labs, Nominet, Kirei and ep.net. Unbound DNS server is a validating, recursive, and caching DNS resolver. It is designed as a set of modular components, so that also DNSSEC (secure DNS) validation and stub-resolvers (that do not run as a server, but are linked into an application) are easily possible. Reasons to use Unbound DNS Server Unbound is very easy to configure through a configuration file like [...]
Install Squidstats in FreebSD 9
Now I would like continue to install Squidstats in FreeBSD 9. I assumed you already success to install Lusca Head proxy server in previous post. And now Squidstats will gather and and report based on Lusca stuff or in other words the Squidstats is a squid monitoring tool which present by displaying the graph data through web browser. The purpose from this small application is to help us to know the squid proxy server performance since it has already built in with time to time reporting. Ins Squidstats you will get some graph reporting based, such as cache size, HIT efficiency, CPU utilization, and much more. All report presented as graph that make you easy to read and understand. Based [...]

Install Lusca Proxy Server in FreeBSD 9
Finally I have chance to install Lusca Proxy Server in FreeBSD 9. But with the specifications on the computer server, I decided also to install squidstats to gather and report on Lusca stuff and unbound a validating, recursive, and caching DNS server software. But the article will divides into three stages with Lusca Proxy Server as number one. I decided to choose FreeBSD 9 as the Operating System because I love it and glad how the FreeBSD manage my limited RAM number. The FreeBSD 9 is a new improves on FreeBSD 8 with many additional new features including the fast filesystem now supports softupdates journaling and High Performance SSH.

Install Lighttpd on FreeBSD
I’ve just finish install Lighttpd on FreeBSD with ZFS support. Actually, no difference between ZFS support or not. Lighttpd on this session act as webserver to present squidstats and bandwidthd. For squidstats you can revisit my post here while for bandwidthd I will post later. Lighttpd is a secure, fast, compliant and very flexible web-server which has been optimized for high-performance environments. It has a very low memory footprint compared to other webservers and takes care of cpu-load. Its advanced feature-set (FastCGI, CGI, Auth, Output-Compression, URL-Rewriting and many more) make lighttpd the perfect webserver-software for every server that is suffering load problems. Installing lighttpd is quite simple under FreeBSD operating system using pkg_add. # pkg_add -rv lighttpd Edit /etc/rc.conf to [...]
