On the subject of wingate ... I fully agree .... I am a regestered user of wingate, but I don't use it. I have switched to using two products (you can probably get away with using either one instead of both, I have some freaky circumstances) - 123proxie and proxy+. Neither product is as big or as resource consuming, and neither require more than proxie mapping on the clients (no client side software to install). Proxy+ is the better of the two and the smaller (resource wise) from my standpoint.
