I'd either go with a _real_ NAT on the proxy host, or, if I must use PHP for whatever reason (which will be slower than a kaernel-based NAT) I'd think of using CUrl to transparently handle post data as well as URI-based queries. One last word - I hope the forms you are targetting remotely are your own... "handling" foreign forms and web pages could be interpreted as stealing; one might easily get into a copyright violation. -- >O Ernest E. Vogelsinger (\) ICQ #13394035 ^ http://www.vogelsinger.at/
