User Proxy Servers
A web proxy server intercepts HTTP requests and determines if it has stored copies of the requested web pages. If it does not, the proxy completes the request to the server on the Internet, returning the requested information to you and also saves it locally for future requests. Setting up a web proxy server on a network can be cumbersome, because each computer on the network must be configured to direct web requests to the server.
If you have a proxy server on your network, instead of configuring each computer’s web browser to point to the proxy server, you can move the server to the WAN or DMZ zone and enable Web Proxy Forwarding using the settings on the NETWORK | System > Web Proxy page. The appliance automatically forwards all web proxy requests to the proxy server without requiring all the computers on the network to be configured.
