i am not able to locate this information in the RFCs. can anybody please point out where it is mentioned, that a stateless proxy should not use a unreliable transport for outgoing messages if the incoming message is on a reliable transport?
thanks, ravi.

I believe the answer is that a stateless proxy must not forward from TCP to UDP. It requires a transaction stateful proxy precisely so it can be responsible for the retransmissions.
