Hi,

If you have tried with Internet Explorer, try with Netscape and see if it 
works.
Not sure if this is the problem you're facing, but ther's one related to 
HTTP/1.1
support. The http-gw proxy relays the client request without modifying the 
version,
when the server receives it and supports 1.1, it will then respond using 
HTTP/1.1.
The proxy then generates a response using 1.0, but IE used to assume 1.1 based
on the response headers. This means it's a double bug:
- http-gw should not generate a 1.1 request since it doesn't support 1.1
- IE should check the response status line (HTTP/1.0 200 OK) instead of relying
on the presence of non-1.0 headers.

Not sure whether these bigs have been corrected by the "responsible" vendors...

You might do tcppdumps on both FW interfaces to see whether this is 
happening...

BTW. What's Unix 4.X? never heard of. Do you mean BSDi 4.x...

cheers,
mouss
