Microsoft Proxy Server Conclusion

This module taught you to evaluate and create Internet connectivity solutions using Microsoft® Proxy Server 2.0®.
It began by outlining the features and design decisions inherent in a Proxy Server solution. Then it described the methods and benefits of integrating Proxy Server within a network. Finally, it discussed Proxy Server client requirements.
By now, you should be able to:
  1. Define the features of Proxy Server
  2. Explain the factors that determine the appropriateness of a Proxy Server solution
  3. Describe the benefits of integrating Proxy Server with other networking services
  4. Describe the decisions involved in creating a functional Internet connectivity Proxy Server solution
  5. Identify the decisions involved in the placement of Proxy Server within a network
  6. Describe how to select the proxy server interface characteristics that affect the integration of the Proxy Server into the network
  7. Identify the Proxy Server client requirements to be included in the Proxy Server design
