      I think we need a network map to understand exactly how things are flowing through the existing proxy.

                  We're wracking our brains on this but it is very odd, which, of course, is why you are having the issue 🙂

                  My only guess is that it has to do with the transparent proxy situation. The proxy is in line for all traffic, so it might be somehow interfering in an unpredictable way, but I cannot determine how.

                    hhhh
                    tell my Mr Scott, did you ever face such situation when you find yourself unable to explain the cause of a problem, you can imagine how it is embarrassing, especially in the business environment, when your manager tell you : why you didn't find a solution for this problem, lol

                        Everyone does. The real difference with experience, I think, is recognizing when troubleshooting something complex is not a good use of time and working around it or approaching it differently helps. Of course, with experience, your troubleshooting will improve so you solve a higher percentage of challenges, but the challenges tend to get harder too.

                        In your case, I recommend working around, at least temporarily so that you can make the business happy and deal with finding an "ideal" solution when time allows.

                          Yes, all the time. It's the nature of such a complex business. IT systems have so many moving parts and so many of them (millions, literally) over which we have no direct control. There is no way for the IT department to have total control, it's just not possible. Sometimes things cannot be solved in any reasonable way.

                              Sorry, but I've been away for a while. Are you still working on figuring out the issue, or did you move on to another product?
