Perhaps > such a proxy already exists? Jigsaw (W3C's Java webserver) might do the trick, see http://www.w3.org/Jigsaw/Doc/User/proxy.html Setting up Jigsaw as a proxy. Jigsaw installation instructions are at http://www.w3.org/Jigsaw/Doc/User/installation.html (also requires Java) Unix fans might prefer Squid, http://squid.nlanr.net/ eg as used at http://impressive.net/people/gerald/1999/01/http-archive/ Dan
