Dear John,
Thank you for indicating me the right documentation and for your explanations. Things are become clearer. Actually, my question was not clear because of the mention of proxys and redirect. Forget this distinction. I was just wondering whether it is possible to configure manually the UA with a list (several not just one)outbound proxys ?
Thanks again,
Catherine Marselli
