Thanks for the reply arne_bab.

Haha yeah, girlfriend > Gnutella

Through security settings I can also block any result from outside your LAN, so noone will ever see a search result from outside.

Sorry, but I don't quite understand this bit. Block results at the server or the LAN client?

Just for clarification: I want the searches performed by a client to leave the network and return the results to them. If possible, I don't want the various computers on the LAN to know about each other - preferably searches would not even include them.

I think I have a simpler way to explain what I'm after. One machine does everything, whether it be maintenance of the connections to the p2p network, executing the searches and downloading the requested files. The clients are more like dumb terminals whereby they just "ask" the server to perform a search, or download a file.

Perhaps I'm being a bit too specific.

Thanks again for your response, I'll look into Phex - I like that I can run it on a Linux server with Windows/Linux/Mac OS X clients
