With the current SPF 5.x architecture, support for the loopback adapter or "local proxy" does
require major changes to one of the core product engines. This is considered a high risk fix with
both high development costs and resource requirements. However, be assured that we are making
progress towards addressing the local proxy issue. Sygate apologizes for the delay but has chosen
the path towards fully addressing the issue, rather than issuing a patch or partial fix.
