Depending on how long the page is I never  see the bottom. When I use the products page I have to refresh 2-3 times to see the bottom part.
  This is thru a proxy only.

I'm having this same sort of problem w/Zope 2.3a1.
I just started trying to use Zope through a proxy.

  If I work directly on the machine I have no problems.

I'm on the win32 platform and thought that the problem was with my
proxy software.  Now I'm not so sure.
