NoCat redirects its own requests to the auth service

I have a couple of strange events happening:

1) my NoCat installation just goes in a continual loop of redirecting any 
request[to itself - I log in, attempt to go somewhere, and it asks me to log 
in again.


2)  If I tell it that it is not to capture requests to my auth service, then I 
get 404 errors to the tune of 
http://<auth>/;cgi-bin/5;url=<url>   not found, etc..



NoCat gateway is running on a public/private ip combination, NoCatAuth server 
is running on a public IP in the same (public) subnet as the gateway.

I'm using Self Signed SSL certificates until I get the system working, when we 
will upgrade to proper certificated.




Any tips or pointers for me?
