Hi Nic, We do it with a layer 4 switch (Nortel Ace Director) in front of the firewall to redirect http requests to a pair of netcaches... we also have the IP spoofing feature turned on so that the requests proxied by the netcaches appear to originate from the actual users' workstations so the firewall logs remain accurate for reporting purposes. BTW, we use this setup for URL filtering purposes with a 13,000 user community and it's been rock solid for the past two years...

Has anyone any advice on how to best do this?
