  Forward Proxying Requests to Internet for Caching purposes Reply Contact Hi there, Any chance a little assistance? I have the OS, IIS and ARR v2 installed and have fumbled my way around without too much luck.  I have followed the instructions for enabling the cache and am really interested in forward proxying client requests to an internet site. The IIS proxy will need to pass the requests to another internal ISA 2006 server (AD credentials will be required). User -> IIS (http://server/training) IIS to forward proxy requests to ISA ISA to send requests to Internet site http://www.abc.com Responses need to populate IIS disk cache Thanks in advance. Hamish

  Re: Forward Proxying Requests to Internet for Caching purposes Reply Contact Hamish Looks like there are a couple of things to do. 1) First configure your ARR to be forward proxy.  Take a look at this post.  http://forums.iis.net/t/1152682.aspx  2) Second, you will want to do what we call "proxy chaining".  This is where you need to chain "ARR forward proxy" with ISA.  I don't have the ARR UI in front of me, but there is a way to chain the proxy via the UI.  (I think it's called "proxy chain" in the UI, actually.)  BTW - are you using ARRv2 Beta1 or ARRv2 Beta2?  Beta2 was just released today and has several new features that you may want to explore.  http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/570/application-request-routing-version-2/

  Re: Forward Proxying Requests to Internet for Caching purposes Reply Contact BTW - I am hoping to do all this without changng the proxy server settings (PAC file) on the client PC's.  These are all set to point at the main proxy server, not the IIS server.  I simply want the clients to browse to the IIS server and then be redirected to the internet site with all the content being cached on the IIS server. I had a read of the (loooong) blog, I didn't really find anything useful neither can I find anything in ARR to do with proxy chaining.  I must be going blind, sorry.
