Re: [SQU] Checkpoint Firewall-1

The consequence is a slight performance loss for your clients,
especially dialup clients. However, not by far as big performance issue
as chaining multiple proxies (which also accomplishes the same thing if
the first proxy in the chain does not support persistent connections).

Persistent connections is that the TCP connection is kept open for
further requests. Without it the clients opens a new TCP connection for
each and every object it is retreiving.

Ps, can you please change your mail software settings NOT to indent
quoted messages. It is a very ugly way of formatting replies, and fails
miserably on threads longer than 1 reply.
