I just realised that my graph wasn't readable so I'll try here to re-draw
it:
-------------
client [a1]
-------------
|
|
-------------
Firewall
Proxy:port
[a2]
------------
|
|
(internet)
|
|
-----------------
remote server
with static IP
[a3]
----------------
Hope that this one will help to draw some attention from the list.
Thanks
Tony

Hi Diana,
The 'a2' is rather a logical entity. Actually there are 2 machines. One
blocking all direct traffic to the Internet and the other is a proxy which
address is included in the 'a1's' browser in order to be able to access the
Internet!
Hope I did answer your question!
Thanks Tony
