Server Side Caches

Server-side caching (proxy caching):



• Provide caching on behalf of clients in an institution
• Proxy servers needed in some institutions which run firewalls - proxy caches are then a free spin-off
• Proxy logs provide information on requests for external resources
• Legal / privacy issues associated with access to proxy logs (e.g. looking for porn)
• Need for guidelines for cache administrators?
