raproxy
=======
raproxy is the application-level proxy.  raproxy is meant as a reference
implementation for those writing firewall software.

raproxy can also be used with other firewall software, such as the TIS
Firewall Toolkit (fwtk) to provide a means for people inside of a firewall
to use RealAudio.  For more details on how to do this, see the accompanying
HTML documentation.

tproxy
======
tproxy is a reference implementation for a transparent proxy.  This is
meant as a reference implementation for those writing firewall software.

NOTE: tproxy is not immediately useful for firewall administrators who wish
      to provide RealAudio access to users inside a firewall.  For those
      that want an immediate solution for providing RealAudio, please use
      raproxy.


Purpose
=======
Please keep in mind that the RealAudio Firewall Proxy Kit contains
"reference code" which, depending upon your firewall host's operating
system, will require varying degrees of modification. The reference code
has been demonstrated to work under FreeBSD and Linux.

Progressive Networks is interested in serving as a clearinghouse for
RealAudio Proxy modifications and enhancements. We encourage you to submit
comments and suggestions to firewalls@realaudio.com for review and possible
inclusion in future versions of the proxy.

If you have any questions, send e-mail to firewalls@realaudio.com
