exactly. In fact, I wouldn't even consider this a proxy per se. It is not really a man in the middle so much as an observer. It's only job is to monitor the data flow and add a dynamic rule so the active FTP connection back to the client succeeds. It does not intercept or modify the content of the exchange and has no active role. -- Paul B.
