Filtering and Access Control. The server provides fine-grain access control to web content from your intranet. Network administrators can use filters to block access to any Internet URL or to alter the actual content stream. Using an access control list, filters can be applied to specific addresses, groups of addresses, individual users or groups of users. The server records all errors and accesses for reporting purposes.
Logs provide useful information to network administrators and group managers.
Network administrators often analyze log files to monitor server usage and performance. Group managers find log-based reports useful in tracking Internet usage among their employees. You may find that your organization has a particular need for one or more of these services. Perhaps you will fully exploit all of them. In any case, the deployment strategy you choose and your ultimate proxy configuration should facilitate the services you will use most often.
