I don't think it is possible, but I do not know why... AFAIK transparent proxying in Linux is limited to redirecting all ports to a given port another host. It is not possible for the proxy server to tell, for instance what the original destination IP address was. A transparent HTTP proxy relies on the server name HTTP1.1 request field to determine what host the client really wanted to connect to. (this has been tested with Pacific's transparent proxy). -- Brian May <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
