	[Raul Zighelboim]  I have seen this exact porblem and similar

	- FreeeBSD server was acting as a proxy/socks server running
either fwtk or nec socks.
	- the ppp link was not on the FreeBSD (2.2.2-RELEASE and/or
2.1.5-RELEASE), but out of an Ascend pipeline 50.  The FreeBSD box had
two Etehrnet interfaces, 2 3C509 ISA cards on two isolated networks....

	I was able to load any page from the FreeBSD server.  But some
pages on the internal network would just not load.  an example of a

	Just my 0.05cents on the subject...
