Proxy Server(s)
We have installed a nice new proxy server. We are currently running with both proxy servers is a round robin DNS configuration for the time being to see how well it works. The new proxy server is a dual AMD 2400 with 2GB of RAM and 2 90GB caches. Also the new proxy server has […]

How well it works will depend on network conditions, but I know it should at least get connected ok. […]
