Colin,
Raptor uses a dedicated HTTP application proxy to pass WWW traffic
through the firewall. This can be configured to use an external caching
server, or it can access and relay documents on its own. It is protocol-
aware, and incorporates security/traffic limitation features based upon
its knowledge of HTTP.
