Nice name,

I can't really solve the problem.  But here's an answer to your question:

>1) Who is actually resolving DNS in the above 2

When clients are set to use the FW as the proxy, the FW is resolving the DNS
names.  The clients send the fully qualified http request to the server,
fully intact. The FW/Proxy will then lookup the name.

I can't fathom why it stopped working, however.

Hi all - 

Having a strange problem that seemed to pop up when
upgrading from 4.0sp2 to 4.0sp4.

<SNIP, SNIP>


I guess my question is twofold - 

1) Who is actually resolving DNS in the above 2
scenarios - with proxy on & with proxy off.  The FW or
the client.

2) Does anyone have any ideas as to what may have gone
bump here?

Thanks a plenty

PFG
