I can't imagine that an ISP > wouldn't want to take advantage of both of these features. I'm running the CERN httpd on my home network as a proxy server as well as at one customer. Both 2.1R systems. When I tried to test the proxy using lynx on the FreeBSD system with http_proxy environment variables the httpd went crazy with forking and I had to do ps -ax |grep httpd |xargs kill repeatedly to kill them all off. But when I access it from other machines on the network everything runs just fine. I wonder if you are seeing something similar. Of course I don't need to use the proxy from the FreeBSD box because it is the gateway that has the real Internet connection. I am also running the TIS Firewall Toolkit on these gateways to provide the network machines (RFC1918 addresses like 10.1.1.1) with access to NNTP, AOL and CIS.
