Hello - as a discussion type question of general nature, I 
was wondering what was generally considerd the 
more secure way to have ones proxies configured to respond
to queries - from /etc/inetd.conf or by running them in 
daemon mode on the appropriate port?  
	I've generally opted to have the proxies running
as daemons with the theory that It would be a more 
"fail-safe" firewall - but my logic beyond that is pretty 
weak... Are there general rules of thumb here?

Josh
