RE: Questions about transparent proxying

Hi,

Nope, as far as I know it's not possible to redirect to another port... (I'm
also using Cisco 7200, IOS 11.2 ). You can only intercept packets for the
relevant ports and then forward it to another address... Unless later
versions of IOS overcome this problem.

Regards
Walter.
