Once upon a time Andy Mell shaped the electrons to say...
>ComOS 3.8beta. I do not have a PM3, but use lots of PM2s and ORs so will

Yes, likely once all of the major issues are worked out on the PM-3.
It is more managable to do it on one major product, get it stable, then
do the residual testing on the other products.

I believe this is in closed beta now. Also in closed beta is IPIP tunnels
and IPSec (on the PM-3, with the Accelerator card).

NAT/NAPT is in closed beta currently.

Can you clarify what passthrough does? I'm thinking you mean the ability
to redirect packets to another machine, like a cache server, based on port.
So all web (port 80) requests are automatically routed to your web cache
box. I believe their NAT/NAPT implementation allows for this.

>What about HTTP setup interfaces?

Not going to happen. They debated using HTTP or a Java based tool - and
picked the Java solution as more flexible, robust, and feature capable.
That's PMVision.
