Hi,
Thanks for the reply - would setting this apply to the sitemap generation also?
It's only the ping that should hit the proxy - the generation of the sitemap shouldn't.
BTW: Great product - works well and when you find the sweet spot with the settings - it runs happily.
We're not that large but we have 60-80k links at 4 levels deep and it takes about 2 hours to run.
Thanks,
David
