I'm adminning a gauntlet 5.0 box.  We've got a user who is trying to
do a "proxy open".  Near as I can tell, this involves host A opening
up two FTP connections, one on his side of the firewall to host B and
one to host X on the other side of the firewall through ftp-gw, and
sending commands to B and ftp-gw to try to get them to send data
directly to each other.  Our old DEC SEAL allowed this.  Gauntlet
isn't allowing it.  Of course, that's probably because allowing it is
insecure, given that a proxy get/send looks to the firewall like some
sort of bizarre bounce attack.

But the user can't easily change his application, so I'm looking into
configging gauntlet for allowing this anyway, at least temporarily.
Preferably just for this one source-ip.  Is there some way to do this?

Thanks!
