About Proxy Chaining and Non-Proxy Domains

Proxy chaining is a function that enables you to create a hierarchical series of proxy servers and to identify domains to which requests are passed without going through the proxy chain. See Proxy Chaining for more details.

Caching Proxy supports proxy chaining for FTP, Gopher, and HTTP. The Caching Proxy allows the creation of proxy chains based on the protocol (HTTP, FTP, or Gopher) of the request to be forwarded. In other words, a proxy server can be configured to send all incoming requests with a particular protocol to a higher level proxy server in the chain.

Additionally, you can specify the domains to which requests are passed without going through a proxy; this is called non-proxy domain configuration. In specified non-proxy domains, the Caching Proxy server does not forward client requests to the higher level proxy but instead contacts the Web server directly to retrieve the requested page and serve it to the client.

The Proxy Chaining and Non-Proxy Domains configuration page is used to create the proxy chain and to identify domains to which requests should be passed without going through a proxy.
