Re: [ijbswa-devel] Help with forwarders: socks specifically

Hi David,

>   forward-socks4a . socks.my.com:1080 .

Please can you try:

forward-socks4a .* socks.my.com:1080 .

(Note the first parameter is ".*" not ".").  I haven't got a SOCKS proxy to
test this against, though.

If that works, then you probably want to prevent requests for your company
intranet sites from being sent through the SOCKS server, so add these after
the forward-socks4a line:

forward .my.com            . # Anything on the same domain as us
forward *                     . # Host with no domain specified
forward 129.12.*.*            . # A dotted IP on our /16 network.
forward 127.*.*.*             . # Loopback address
forward localhost.localdomain . # Loopback address

(Obviously change 129.12.*.* to your network IP range)

Both the SOCKS examples in the config file are wrong - they have the last
two parameters swapped round.
