sending requests to upstream proxies
and servers using one of the following
options:

When IP spoofing is enabled, requests
originating from a client retain the

originate from the client rather than
from the Web Security appliance.
Note: When IP spoofing is enabled
and the appliance is connected to a
WCCP router, configure a WCCP
service to redirect the return path.
