Has anyone else noticed Digex playing with transparent proxying on their backbone? We have one of our T1's through them, and found that all web traffic going out our Digex connection goes through a proxy. We've got customers with web sites that are broken now because they can't communicate with things like Cybercash, because their outgoing http requests are hijacked and sent through a Digex web cache. Digex wants us to register each web server out on the rest of the internet that hosts from our network need to talk directly to. This looks like the beginning of a big PITA. I wouldn't have a problem with Digex setting up some web caches and encouraging customers to setup their own caches and have them talk to the Digex ones via ICP...but caching everything without our knowledge/consent stinks. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Jon Lewis <[email protected]> | Spammers will be winnuked or Network Administrator | drawn and quartered...whichever Florida Digital Turnpike | is more convenient. ______http://inorganic5.fdt.net/~jlewis/pgp for PGP public key____
