Reverse/Server-Side Proxy Caching for Windows?

Posted by Cliff on Monday January 5, 2004 @10:26PM from the living-in-a-microsoft-world dept.

frooyo asks: "I'm an currently looking for a good reverse proxy caching solution (server-side caching) for the Windows platform. This would be used as a transparent proxy between the corporate website and the outside world. Products that I have seen available include: Microsoft ISA server, Squid for NT and some others. I'm not completely opposed to using a non-windows platform for this type of solution, but I would prefer a Windows solution. I need a product that handles middle-large numbers of current users (10-30) with easy on one server. Additionally features such as caching pools and easy handling of FTP connections (since this will be used as a 'transparent' proxy) would be a much needed benefit."

Go ask M$ by tab0wling · 2004-01-06 01:22 · Score: 0, Flamebait

Hmmm.... I want a M$ solution, so I'll go ask a bunch of predominantly gnu/linux folks their advice. But I prefer the advice to lead me to a M$ product. Let's see, which speed dial did I have Linus on? Oops, that was Alan...
Ok, now I need some help getting gcc to compile some stuff on my debian box. Let's see, which speed dial did I have Billy on again? Oops, that was Stevie.
I know, I'm a smart@ss who is probably being harsher on you than you deserve. The community loves helping others and sharing the knowledge. It was just the way in which you said you would prefer a M$ solution that really seemed insulting. As if a FREE solution wasn't inferior.
