I use never_direct as the default. Everything goes through the VW unless
there is an explicit always_direct.

I haven't noticed the problem, but decided a long time ago that the VW's
ftp listings weren't "pretty" enough. One of my always_direct acls is for
ftp directory listings.

Haven't noticed this, but as you said, my always_direct probably takes
care of it.

What build of VW? I can honestly say I've had no real problems since
around build 1200 of 3.6. Haven't seen the need to go to 3.7 yet - if it
ain't broke.... Current running 1240+ on most boxes.

I'll probably try 3.7 on the next new install ..
