Our Pix 515 is behind a router that does NAT. The router is forwarding
port 443 to the Pix Outside interface of 172.16.80.2.

I have the following line to enable the cut-through proxy:

aaa authentication include https outside 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 RADIUS

Using a browser on the net and hitting the router's outside (public) IP
on https (443) port, I get Cisco's user login form (white page with a
user/password field and a submit button). If I view the source of this
page, the submit button has an action of https://172.16.80.2:443....
see the issue? The browser on the web cannot route to that IP... How
do I get the Pix to generate the form such that it'll post to the
router's public IP? Or does this mean I cannot do cut-through proxy
unless the Pix has a public IP on its outside interface?

If your router is the device doing the IP translation from
the public IP to 172.16.80.2 then it is your router that is responsible
for modifying the returned HTML to use the public IP in place
of 172.16.80.2 . If your router cannot do HTML rewrites, or if your
router cannot do HTTPS rewrites (due to the encryption), then you
are using the wrong topology.

Thanks for the reply. The router is a Cisco 1721. Do you if it's
capable of doing what you are saying?
