Ok, I asked this question before on another Sunbelt list but didn't get a chance to pay attention to the responses. This time, I'm gonna ask here and I'll pay attention! :)
We're currently using Microsoft Proxy 2.0 for our proxying needs. However, for everything but HTTP requests and ftp requests through HTTP, Microsoft Proxy 2.0 requires all clients to have Winsock installed before proxying any other requests. This is obviously undesirable. My issues are these:
1.) We are looking for a proxy server that does proxying transparently based on only server settings (clients of course will still need to point all apps to the proxy server). I know there are packages out there that do this, such as the linux version of Apache that our ISP was using when we had ISP functions outsourced. Can anyone recommend an NT-based package that allows us to not have to install anything on the client side?
2.) I started
looking at Microsoft Internet Security & Acceleration Server 2000 (ISA 2000) as our Microsoft Proxy 2.0 replacement. Does anyone know if this has the same limitations as Microsoft Proxy 2.0, in that each client has to have a component installed to proxy everything but http and ftp through http requests?
Thanks for all responses!
