Hi, I have the ff conf snippet: ---------------------------------- acl test dst 192.168.25.60 always_direct allow test never_direct allow all ---------------------------------- This hangs/timesout whereever/whenever i browse. However, if i remove the always_direct line, browsing works flawlessly. Is there a conflict w the always_direct and never_direct directives? What gives? Tips pls. kind regards -botp note: this is a new proxy i am installing; so other directives are just plain http_access allow.. and cache_peer (this proxy is a child..)
