6.5.11 HTTP Redirect

Configure this feature to have the ZyWALL transparently forward HTTP (web)
traffic to a proxy server. This can speed up web browsing because the proxy server
keeps copies of the web pages that have been accessed so they are readily
available the next time one of your users needs to access that page.
The ZyWALL does not check to-ZyWALL firewall rules for packets that are
redirected by HTTP redirect. It does check regular (through-ZyWALL) firewall
rules.
