Very dependent upon the service you're talking about due to the nature of proxies.
But yes, it should work if you simply configure WhatsUp to access the proxy, pointing
to the actual resource along the way.
For example, I could send a "USER [EMAIL PROTECTED]," to my ftp proxy
server, which, if my outside FTP address is up, should succeed. Same kind of thing
applies to http, but of course, if your proxy is down, you're going to think that your
outside service is down.
SOCKS is much harder. You could try to SOCKSify your Winsock using Hummingbird's
"shim," but I am not sure whether this would work with WhatsUp. I am pretty sure that
NEC's SOCKSCap won't work.
Hope that helps,

Does anyone know if it is possible to monitor NT services across a Proxy
server. We need to monitor several services on a server that is outside
our immediate LAN and is running MS Proxy. Ipswitch says no go. Any
experience with workarounds? Is it possible to monitor services as IP
ports? If so, anyone know good resource for IP port setup for WhatsUp?
Thanks.
