BTW if the XXXServ is not for free, I am afraid that
this (and similar tools like security gateways) is needed
in order to keep a reasonable control...
Please, let's not go there again.
=> I may not throw away a vendor of a well-known router company
when he proposes to use a "transparent proxy"... Until all boxes
will be NextToComeServ capable as my BSD boxes, we have to
bear far worse than managing XXXServ or/and any other advanced
function at the first router.

PS: AH is useful, for instance if AH was used with all the tunneling
stuff under FUD in another thread of this list, the answer would be
so simple!
