Re: proxy servers and site agreements

[Julien Van Borm <julien.vanborm@uia.ua.ac.be>]

Dear Colleague,

This is a well known problem for any transparent proxy server. All Belgian
universities linked up to Belnet, the Belgian research network, have to
deal with it.

The only solution Belnet came up so far is a locally and daily updated
list of exceptions of destinations for which the original IP address has
to be maintained: a by pass system so to speak.
