Hi Tim, A lot of intresting stuff in this email... we are looking at it carefully. As to Port 80 traffic to the outside network... We Firewall it! "Transparent proxying" has minor problems, and for us it was much easier to just block Port 80. "Direct access" is available to our apache server where "picture book" instructions are given. The only people who ever complained were some visiting forigners. Thanks to EVERYBODY for the ideas - we will be looking at each one carefully.
