I've used httpd-gw from FWTK 1.3 and 2.0beta and they're too slow. I am currently using Apache as the outbound (corporation->internet) proxy and it works like a champ, inbound (internet->corporate web server) is the problem. > I assume you have considered the dangers in relaying RAW HTTP requests > inbound through your firewall. As much as possible. Using something as big and complex as CERN as a proxy is less than optimal, but I'm willing to trade the potential holes for the speed increase. Design and security implications aside, is this a bug? In the inbound role, Apache would only be acting as a relay, so why is it returning a directory listing? stuart -- Stuart Stock [EMAIL PROTECTED] Systems/Security Administrator http://www.gundaker.com Gundaker Realtors "Blowing a buffer as we speak"
