Caching Proxy Help

About Caching Proxy

Caching Proxy is both a caching proxy server and a content filter. As a proxy server, it acts as a gateway and assumes the responsibility for retrieving Internet data for multiple browser clients. The Web documents retrieved can be saved or cached, and then served from the local cache when subsequent requests for those documents are made.

You can customize the proxy's caching features. For example, the Caching Proxy offers the option to automatically refresh the cache with the most frequently accessed pages and the possibility to cache even those pages where the header information says to fetch them every time. You can specify when the information on a page expires, how large to make the cache, and when to update it. The Caching Proxy also offers the ability to handle very large caches (20 GB or more, depending on your hardware).

In addition, the Caching Proxy allows you to set content filtering at the proxy server level, rather than or in addition to at the browser level, where content filtering could be easily compromised or over-ridden. Inappropriate content is not displayed on the client's browser, according to parameters specified in the proxy configuration.
