Re: Summary of Transparent proxy/How-to

Yep. I had just reviewed the archives--I'm not on the list. I get too
much mail as it is. The advantage to this patch is that it uses the
ip_filter to pull the REAL destination address from the filtering,
allowing BSD boxes and anything else the same advantage as a Linux box
with it's filtering capibility--only IP Filter is more advanced in many
aspects.
