I just looked at the squid (caching proxy server) config file and it does have tags to do this, You'd setup squid to use your corp's proxy server for *.mycorp.com and squid would get the rest directly, I'd suggest the tags to add to the config file would be: cache_host myproxy.corp.com 80 7 # proxy-port icp-disable cache_host_domain myproxy.corpy.com mycorp.com All other requests will be resolved localy. squid is handy because it should cache pages retrieved from your slow sat link, speeding things up alot, it's also a snap to setup under debian ;> Jason -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
