Subject: backbone transparent proxy / connection hijacking
>Has anyone else noticed Digex playing with transparent proxying on their

>traffic going out our Digex connection goes through a proxy. We've got
>customers with web sites that are broken now because they can't
>communicate with things like Cybercash, because their outgoing http
>requests are hijacked and sent through a Digex web cache.

>Digex wants us to register each web server out on the rest of the
