This is exactly right. I would go on by saying how I want to clean this mess up....The main point we have to understand is that the current build logic makes traffic_server act like a .a/.lib file for the build. We should try to fix this :-) I would propose at the very least we make a cmd/traffic_server directory for this binary and change the build to make a "proxy.a" file. This should be broken up more, but hey baby steps... Jason
