    The NET$PROXY.DAT file seems fine.  It is the largest proxy file
    I've ever seen.

    My system (Alpha 3000 Model 400) does "UAF> sh/proxy *::PFRSL"
    in about 6 seconds and yields 4 records.

    My only guess is that their satellite traffic is so heavy the
    remote security server can't get to the NET$PROXY.DAT file in
    a timely manner.

    Resolution likely means changing a timeout value in SECURESHRP.EXE
    or making it user-adjustable. 

    Please file a problem report.  Don't expect a quick fix, though.
