If you have a problem in this way of usage, I think I must fix the problem as fast as possible. Other usage of MOUNT, or relaying with "/-_-" (like an implicit automount), are features which are not guaranteed to work. For example, you can do generic MOUNTs for arbitrary servers like this: MOUNT="/http/* http://*" MOUNT="/https/* https://*" MOUNT="/ftp/* ftp://*" ... With the set of MOUNTs, you can access arbitrary servers like http://delegate/http/www.yahoo.com/, http://delegate/https/www.att.com/ and http://delegate/ftp/ftp.delegate.org. MOUNTs like above, which does mapping URL "protocolname://hostname/urlpath" to "http://DeleGate/protocolname/hostname/urlpath" can be represented in a single, the most generic MOUNT like this: MOUNT="/* *" If necessary, you can insert a Prefix before URL like this: "http://DeleGate/Prefix/protocolname/hostname/urlpath" And when the Prefix string is "-_-" like this: MOUNT="/-_-* *" it works like proxying by implicit automount (by RELAY="delegate"). But it does more thing than the implicit one because it is MOUNTed explicitly.
