Table of Parent Proxy Caches

The table of parent proxy caches contains the hosts you entered when you last performed basic proxy cache configuration. If you have multiple parent proxies that do not support ICP, the proxy cache service contacts those parents in the order you list them here. If you have multiple parents that do support ICP, the proxy cache service determines the "closest" parent by comparing response times to its ICP queries.

The headings in the table of parent caches are as follows:

• Proxy Name - Fully qualified host name of the parent proxy cache host. If this host is not in the same domain as the Netra j proxy cache host, you must specify the domain name; for example: webcache.eng.acme.com

• HTTP Port - The HTTP port number on which the parent listens for HTTP requests.

• SSL - A checkbox indicating whether a host supports the tunneling of the Secure Sockets Layer protocol.

• Persistence - A checkbox indicating whether a host supports the HTTP persistent connections feature, sometimes referred to as "keep-alive."
