+<title>JunkBuster's Internal Pages</title>
+
+<para>
+ Since <application>JunkBuster</application> proxies each requested
+ web page, it is easy for <application>JunkBuster</application> to
+ trap certain URLs. In this way, we can talk directly to
+ <application>JunkBuster</application>, and see how it is
+ configured, see how our rules are being applied, change these
+ rules and other configuration options, and even turn
+ <application>JunkBuster</application> off.

+
+<para>
+ The URLs listed below are the special ones that allow direct access
+ to <application>JunkBuster</application>. Of course,
