I kenna recall which version of Internal Exploder you're using: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;Q266121& I don't know what a 'transparent cache server' is (as mentioned in the article), but according to this page: http://pllab.sangmyung.ac.kr/researches/docs/sysadmin-cdrom/html/v08/i12/a7. htm it's exactly what it sounds like - a proxy which spoofs other addresses in order to appear *not* to be a proxy. Simpler setup or admin or something; dunno. joel
