Re: [FW1] Unknown WWW server


Hello,

I had this problem when I defined the FW as the proxy to internal browsers.
It had to do with the DNS timing out. If you use the default settings of
FW1 and don't log DNS (are you logging DNS traffic?), you wouldn't get any
entries in the log file for HTTP requests made by your browser that time
out on DNS (at least that was my conclusion). Try increasing the BIND
timeout value in the Policy Properties.

Hope this helps

Joe
