While talking about Firewalls and Proxies, I was asked, can you have a
"Stateful Proxy"?

To my way of thinking, if a proxy is stateful then it knows about the
application it is working on behalf of, not just .

For something like FTP, it might be whether or not the user has made
a successful login or not.

Of course I might be completely out of step with the rest of the world
on this :-)
