[WEB4LIB] Gale and proxy settings

[Gerri Moeller]

Tom:

I don't know anything about the NT policy editor, but I have had similar
problems when trying to restrict access to certain sites.  My problem
was that there were additional URLS involved.  There were more URLS than
I was able to see or find.  

I used a little program called Web Bug to go to the sites in question,
then determine exactly where they were going.  As soon as I found the
additional URLS, I added them to my allowed list, and everything worked
as planned.  

Let me know if you need any more info about this.
