| Yeah, disable the web relay and punch a hole in the screen for port 80...

| I assume when you mean punch a hole you're referring to 'screend'? I
forgot to mention that this is the AltaVista Firewall for Windows NT,
which only supply Application-level Proxies and the 'screend'
equivalent won't be available until the next version.
Therefore, I assume that in the NT version this would not be possible?

| I have previously had a discussion with firewall engineering about the
possibility of a transparent WWW proxy. It was only during this
discussion that I became aware (for which, read Mark Smith gently
pointed out to me!) that this cannot ever be a total solution.
The problem is that a transparent proxy is tied to a particular port
number. In order to do transparent WWW proxy, you would have to tie it
to every port number on which anyone ever runs a WWW Server - that list
is infinite ...
