Henrik & Nuno,

Many thanks for your kind help. Just want to make sure, as your
explanation
I assume the mechanism of "route-mapped" proxy is:

All of HTTP request from client will be redirected to the proxy box.
Then
the proxy will check into it's cache. If no objects are found then it
will
fetch to Internet. On the fetching progress, proxy box also through
router
using HTTP request. The access-list will filter the IP and because of it
captured the IP of proxy that be denied, it did not redirect the
request.

If my assumption above correct, it means the messages "deny tcp host
aaa.aaa.aaa.aaa any eq www (1263621 matches)" as a normal thing. Am I
right?

Please advise.

Thx & Rgds,

Awie
