MS Proxy fails closed. If correctly configured it never routes packets - IP
forwarding disabled on OS level. It's Proxy after all :-)
BTW I'm not starting religious wars about Proxy based vs. Packet filtering
Firewalls

Somewhat off topic but....
IMHO, the devils in the details. Very basically, a well designed fw
product should fail closed (passes nothing). I would suspect that MS Proxy
would have the potential to fail open. Can anyone else comment on this?
fw-1 at a minimum passes that test.
