Sorry, my statement was not so clear: I mean that an "hardware" firewall may well be made of a series of application proxies, effectively allowing some software to pass out and denying others. Mmmmh... after reading 3APA3A's post, I'm in doubt: maybe I didn't get the point and we're speaking about distinguishing between two clients _of the same type_ (e.g. two browsers or two FTP clients)? If that's the case, please excuse me. :-( -- #include <best/regards.h> BlueRaven "One world, one Web, one program" - Microsoft Promo ad.
