Has anyone on this list looked at the DeleGate code?
(it provides SOCKS compatible proxying which is also
accessible by non-SOCKS clients in a way that is similar
to the user-driven TIS FWTK proxies).
The URL for DeleGate is: http://wall.etl.go.jp/delegate/
... and it seems to be under a much less restrictive
license (BSD'ish? GPL?) than NEC SOCKS.
So far I've shied way from NEC SOCKS since I don't understand
their license. My concern about DeleGate is whether that
no one ever talks about it --- so I don't know if the code has
received sufficient scrutiny.
Maybe if LSA looked it over, RH and/or Debian could adopt this
as a default applications proxy for their distributions. I
think we still need one since IP masquerading still doesn't
seem to do as well on FTP as I'd like.
