Ok, I have to say something in Microsoft's defense
here. =) We here at the DOE and the K-12 Kentucky
educational system have the largest Microsoft proxy server
implementation in the world. It consists of ~1700 servers
and supports ~650,000 users. Since its implementation it has
been rock solid. The problems that we have had (most of
which have been performance related issues at the top level),
have been quickly solved and put to rest. The product is
easy to setup and manage... _with proper planning_. That's
the key. Proper planning. I know that a lot of problems
people have with Microsoft Proxy Server is because they
didn't carefully evaluate their needs and works towards a
solution that best fits them. Proxy Server can be a complex
product if you use some of the more advanced features, and
should never be thought of as a quick-setup-and-run product.
My experience _with_ the product and level of support _for_
the product has been nothing but excellent.
Thanks,
Abe
PS-I'm not affiliated with Microsoft in any way. This is
just my 2 cents. =)
