We compare the analytical and numerical results for the Casimir force for the configuration of a plane and a cylinder in front of a plane. While for Dirichlet boundary conditions on both, plane and sphere or cylinder, agreement is found, for Neumann boundary conditions on either the plane or one of the two, cylinder or sphere, disagreement is found. This holds, for a sphere, also for different boundary conditions on the interacting surfaces. From recent, new numerical results for the cylinder, a general appearance of logarithmic contributions beyond PFA can be predicted.
