Netra Proxy Cache Array Configuration Guide

Preface

The Netra Proxy Cache Array Configuration Guide tells you how to perform initial software configuration on an array of Netra Proxy Cache Servers. These instructions are designed for an experienced system administrator with a knowledge of the Solaris(TM) operating environment and network administration.

This manual is a companion to the Netra Proxy Cache Array User's Manual. That document describes advanced configuration and tells you how to monitor and troubleshoot the Netra Proxy Cache Array.
