[H-GEN] rc5 proxy

Robert,

Here is a snippet from my proxy log...

...

I believe the 0.0.0.0 address means that it will accept connecitons on
any address, you can restrict this (I think) so that it will only accept
connections from specific interfaces.  

It does seem a little strange that the proxy is not connecting to an
upstream server.  What build and architecture of the proxy are you using
?  (I'm running the Sparc version)
