Thank you Dave for your help, I might consider OpenSSH or Squid very soon
but now I feel that I'm very close to get this done.
I thought that the problem was that the blocked website gets its content
transparently from a sub-domain but I found this to be incorrect, right now
I am able to access any website through the configuration I've previously
posted EXCEPT the website of my interest.

I mean when I do:

----------------------------------
        Service
        backend
        address somedomain.com ## any domain you can imagine
        port    80
---------------------------------

I can successfully access and surf the content of that domain with no
problems at all (including domains blocked by the government) . The problem
is with the specific website I need to reach, in Firefox I get the following
message:

"
The page isn't redirecting properly

Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this
address in a way that will never complete.

    *   This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to
accept
          cookies.
"

The question now is: Does pound refuses cookies coming from backends? If so,
why can I access any other website through the same configuration? How can I
get Pound to accept cookies coming from that website? Or do you think that
this problem has nothing to do with cookies at all? So what is it?

This problem is driving me crazy :( all websites in the world can be
accessed and successfully served by my server except the website I need. Any
idea about the Firefox message?

Regards
