lets take this one step further.
on my upstream proxy, i see the logs rolling by, and i see usernames and
the IP address of the downstream proxy.
ok, so that is what it is.. however, when viewing the monitoring tab on
the downstream proxy, I only see 'anonymous' on every session.
How could one correlate those 'anonymouses' with the actual user ID in
the event that you need to trace back web activity to a user\IPaddress
combo?
i only have authentication required on the upstream proxy, otherwise,
the users get prompted over and over to authenticate to get out to the
web.

Hi Mike,
 
Listen here little feller:
 
If the Web Proxy Filter handles the request, then the source IP address
will always be the IP address of the ISA firewall.
 
I'll stand by that until I have a chance to test it, or Jim tells me I'm
wrong :)

        on my upstream proxy, the before the firewall, its set to Route,
not NAT.
        if it was set to NAT, the upstream proxy's IP was shown.
        so, i was hoping my downstream would show the client IP

                ya know i think its just odd.
                right now my upstream proxy sends the client IP to the
firewall..

                You can't have it both ways. If you want to use the
local Web proxy, you must accept the source IP address being that of the
downstream ISA firewall.

place to watch the activity

                        What's the point of having them use the local
proxy? Why not just configure the clients to connect directly to the
upstream Web proxy and bypass proxy on the destination server? Turn off
Web proxy support on the downstream and away you go.

                                so basically i have to setup something
to tail what's being entered into the MSDE database as the users hit the
web, right?

                                Yes, but you won't have Web proxy
chaining. You need a ROUTE Network Rule and no Web proxy services at the
downstream. I.e., no local caching.

                                any way to have it log the IP address of
the actual client on the upstream ISA? it would make monitoring the
clients so much easier.

webchaining.
                                
                                
                                Another question.

                                When I watch my logs on the upstream
proxy, I see users coming thru with the IP address of the downstream
proxy, not of the client they are on.

                                Thoughts?
