All,

We have found an issue with some CDN (Content Delivery Network)
provides when X-Forwarded-For headers are included (as is done with
most proxy servers, including Bess) for private (RFC 1918) IP
addresses.  The CDNs in question would see the RFC 1918 address and
default to directing traffic to data-centers that are often not the
closest or fastest for content.

This may have made browsing some websites seem slow for those using
private addressing.

We are currently testing an update from MECnet to resolve this and
will be posting it on the update server shortly.

This update will appear as mecguard_maine 12.3
