Proxy/Firewall Problem (still working on it)

[Carl Robert Blesius]

After a long Manila vacation due to another project I am back on to my 
original problem.

The most helpful message I received is below...
which made me realize I am most likely dealing with a feature and not a 
bug. Problem is I do not know how to use this feature yet.

Basically I need to set up a domain name forwarding service so it points
to the root web of my IP address, but I get an AllowDirectoryListings 
Error when I try to access the address
from over the proxy (which does not happen when the IP is entered).

http://prototype.uni-hd.de points to http://129.206.94.200

So here is what I have in cofig.mainresponder.domains:

129.206.94.200 (which points to createASiteManilaWebsite and works fine)
and
default C:\\Frontier\Guest Databases\www\

when I add a test forwarding proxy it give the AllowDirectoryListings 
Error when I want it to point at the same
createASiteManilaWebsite that is shown when the IP alone is entered.

So to make the whole thing concrete...

what do I need to enter in config.mainresponder.domains
to get the server to spit out the createASiteManilaWebsite?

http://www.prototype.uni-hd.de
subsites seem to work just fine...

A Greenhorn in Heidelberg looking for some help.

Thanks,
Carl
