Pls. see my configuration file attached.

I only want to use Apache as a forward proxy server. All of my local PCs
connect to this proxy server and has to go through this server to surf the
internet. What I feel strange is:

1. If I login on the proxy server itself,  the surfing is successful.

2. When surf from my local PC, the accesslog file shows that surfing is
successful (return code is 200), then it keep on looking for
/var/www/htdocs's image file and says successful (return code 200), and end
with unsuccessful to one address (404). No matter what address I surf, the
access result is the same except the first line of information says surfing
to according address is successful, and the rest informations are the same.

    On my local PC, when I bring up the browser, it says that it is opening
page http://www.yahoo.com. After 2 seconds it change to my local web page on
my webserver.

This apache is not compiled by me. It comes with Openbsd opeating system
itself.

Is there any mail-list for our Apached users to share the experience of
Apache installaiton, configuration...? I feel it will be beneficial for the
application and development of the Apache server.

Sorry for disturbing again!
