1893.0. "How to browse through FW from outside ?" by HGOM11::ROBINZHANG () Wed Mar 26 1997 02:10

    Hi,
    
    How to browse internal WWW through AV firewall?
    You know the policy of DFWU2.1 does not allow it.
    I heard that Netscape Proxy sevrer will be helpful
    to do this , anyone can tell me how ?

Hi Robin, 

Netscape calls the mechanism "reverse proxying". See
http://www.netscape.com/comprod/server_central/support/faq/proxy_faq.html#19

Maybe http://www-notes.lkg.dec.com/noted/seal/1642 will help with what
AltaVista Firewall can do for you. Version 3.0 will offer
- custom policies for the wwwproxy (just like for telnet and ftp)
- transparent gxd
We will have to find out whether these are useful for inbound WWW access.

Don't forget to visit Tony Pitt's page on http://sector.gmt.dec.com/firewall/
whenever you want to do "something special" with AFW.

Sebastian
