ACE Service Module as Reverse Proxy

[asfar.zaidi]

Hi All

Can you please advise , if I can use Application Control Engine Service Module in 6500 Switch as a reverse proxy instead of Microsoft ISA Server.

The ACE module does not cache http content.

So you can use it as a reverse-proxy, but ACE will always gets the content from the server.
