Author mod_speling only works inside firewall - why?

Hello,

We have mod_speling installed on our Apache 2.0 server. It works as
it should when the user is inside our firewall but not at all for
outside users! How can the firewall affect how mod_speling works?
Anyone have ideas?

Thanks in advance.

it can't, it cant only refuse to pass back certain status (headers) to
the client, if it is an advanced firewall with cool rules using
mod_security etc...

depends on what firewall you have. does it do any proxying or caching?
Does it filter the I/O using mod_security etc...
In the end once apache receives the request that it determines to be
near to but not quite exactly a match for a likely suspect, it issues
a redirect, which makes its way back to the client as a header, bad
caching could interfere with this process.
