I apologize for posting this question here, but I'm hoping that one of
you may have encountered this problem and found a fix for it.  I've
exhausted other resources, including the vendors involved.

We have a client who is connected via leasded line to us and who sits
behind a firewall.  The firewall is doing network address translation so
that all outbound traffic from the company appears to come from the same
address.

Anyway, when the try to connect to web sites that use cookies, they
aren't able to get any data back.  It appears that the firewall won't
let the cookies go through.  Netscape tech support basically said:
"Oops, oh well.  Have a nice day."

So, if anyone has seen this before, or can point me to some possible
solutions, I would appreciate it.

Again, sorry for the non-redhat related post, but I'm stuck.
