Put the proxy *behind* the firewall, point the clients to it and proxy over 
the firewall (using something like socks) .... or *not recommended* run the 
proxy on the firewall, and point the clients to it.  Why did you decide to 
put the proxy outside the firewall?

Some details:
   We've just installed a Raptor firewall system (on a sun).  We have a web
site outside the firewall running BSD/OS with the CERN server in proxy mode. 

We've
previously used SLIP to allow staff to surf the web.  My question is, how to
I get PC clients running netscape or mosaic to use the proxy instead of
expecting
a SLIP or PPP connection?

Thanks,
Andrew
