RE: IP Forwarders

["Robert Collins" <robert.collins () itdomain com au>]

So you want the first web server to authenticate the user, then forward
the request to the second webserver, receive the response from the
second webs server and forward the reply to the client machine?

That's usually called a web accelerator or reverse proxy. I don't know
if FW-1 can do this itself, but the Novell NCS product, squid, squids
mod_proxy, web appliance, netcache and many others are available to do
this.
