Just want to make sure, as your explanation I assume the mechanism of "route-mapped" proxy is: All of HTTP request from client will be redirected to the proxy box. Then the proxy will check into it's cache. If no objects are found then it will fetch to Internet. On the fetching progress, proxy box also through router using HTTP request. The access-list will filter the IP and because of it captured the IP of proxy that be denied, it did not redirect the request. If my assumption above correct, it means the messages "deny tcp host aaa.aaa.aaa.aaa any eq www (1263621 matches)" as a normal thing. Am I right? Please advise.
