Web Proxy Servers (Web Infrastructure Series)

First book in new series focusing on web infrastructure issues. This is an area of major interest to folks managing large corporate networks who need to conserve bandwidth and ensure a high degree of security. For example, one of the biggest users of proxy server technology is Hewlett-Packard. H-P runs the largest corporate network in the world with over 100,00 nodes. Without a system of caching/proxy servers, H-P's Internet traffic would be unmanageable and unreliable. H-P uses the CERN proxy server developed by the author in local, regional and super caches.
