Hi.

I am having a problem with transparent proxying: in my ipnat tables, I have:

	rdr ne0 0/0 port 25 -> 127.0.0.1 port 25 tcp

On the localhost, I have the TIS `plug-gw' running with transparent proxy
patches.  My netperm-table file does not list a `plug-to' option since it
makes no sense (I also tried `plug-to *').  When connecting to
random.host.com 25, the plug-gw daemon reports "cannot work out who to
connect to"--or something similar.

Has anyone successfully managed such a configuration for a random TCP
service?  Thanks,

Ben
