Hi,
I was going through the code in sessions.c to figure out things.
My traffic is reported as Remote -> Remote, and i want sessions for that.
But in sessions.c (Ln 1345) , I see that nonFullyRemoteSession is set
to 0 & thus the sessions for Remote->Remote traffic arent handled?
Any specific reasons behind this?

Thanks
Regards
Farhan Ali Khan
