Proxy Cache Service Configuration

Use the values you enter in Table 1-3 and Table 1-4 to configure the proxy cache service.

Table 1-3 Data for Basic Proxy Cache Configuration

Parameter Name	Description	Enter Value Here:
HTTP port	Port number used by the Netra Proxy Cache Server for receiving web requests. Most users can accept the default of 8080. Example: 8080
Inside firewall?	In a corporate setting, most proxy cache servers are inside a firewall.
Domains inside firewall	For domains not on this list, if the server cannot find a requested object in its local cache, it always tries to fetch the URL from a parent or sibling.
Parent proxies	If you are inside a firewall, you probably have a parent proxy. You can have multiple parents. See following table.

The Netra Proxy Cache Server supports multiple parent and sibling proxies. For each parent of your server, find out the following information:

• The port it uses for HTTP

• The port it uses for the Inter Cache Protocol (ICP)

• Whether it supports tunneling of the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol

• Whether it supports persistent connections (as supported by popular browsers such as Netscape Navigator. (Netscape and Netscape Navigator are trademarks of Netscape Communications Corporation.)

If your parent is a Netra Proxy Cache Server, keep in mind that the server uses default port numbers of 8080 and 3130, for HTTP and ICP, respectively. Also the Netra Proxy Cache Server supports SSL tunneling and persistent connections.

If your parent is not a Netra Proxy Cache Server, consult the documentation for that server to determine whether it supports ICP, SSL tunneling, and persistent connections.
