After that, we ended up with a test version (which mostly works) but it has been quite silent after that (for me, the reason was being busy at work). There is still some work left in address encoding, but the basic things work quite well and the system is quite usable with squid and browsers that send Host: -line. Also, someone should modify the 'transproxy' to understand destination encoding done by libalias if the system should support transparent proxying with older browsers that don't send Host: -line. I have also been using this to transparently tunnel TCP connections to customers who offer only ssh logon to one host at their network. Works great (we are running http, telnet, oracle and netbios over it at work). I was going to do transproxy modifications because of this, but transproxy wasn't suitable this kind of weird operation (I ended up in writing a simple tcp connection forwarder myself). Ari S.
