so it means that it can be used to manage some sort of authentication, and
decide to proxy or not, based on several other properties than those in
tcp/ip?
that is a good way to implement another level of authentication for systems
like mine, I have a internal exchange machine that sends all its outbound
mails to a relay in a dmz, but pop acounts are in that internal server, so I
could use this deamon to authenticate a user on the firewall, prior to the
actual proxy connection is open?
is this just a dream of mine?
but that creates another problem, firewall authentication! :)
Off-topic: has anyone managed to 'build' a vpn from a linux gateway(conneted
to one endpoint network), trouhgt internet to several win2k clients?
