Indexing external sites using PROXY

gw still wants to lookup the ip address for all specified urls even if using a proxy to fetch them. You either need to setup dns or hosts for those sites or use a vortex scripted walker such as in webinator 4 or on our ftp site (dowalk) instead of gw.

Edit /etc/hosts
See your system manuals (man hosts).

One other issue is probably the authetication, does webinator 4.2 allow proxy authetication

Thanks in advance, joe

But only through the web admin interface, not the 2.x-version gw.
