Hi Jim
1) Do you thus imply that setting this option is NOT such a good idea?
2) Also, when you say it only redirects when the WEB Proxy Service is
unresponsive, this essentially means that when the WEB Proxy Service is
not running or has crashed for some reason, only then will it be
bypassed?
Any more information you may have on this option would be brilliant.
Cheers

That option only redirects when the Web Proxy service is unresponsive.
Site and Content rules operate normally.
Bear in mind that redirecting to the local Web Proxy service also sends
those requests without credentials.

Hi there
Within the HTTP Redirector application filter, the default option for
the
HTTP Redirector is set to "Redirect to local WEB Proxy Service"
This is great as it then allows all the Site&Content rules to be
processed
and I can thus manage the access to the Internet.
Secondary to this option, there is a tickbox which says:
"If the local service is unavailable, redirect requests to requested WEB
Server"
Now I am having some very strange things happening with my Site&Content
rules, and a techie from Microsoft suggested enabling this secondary
option. What I would like to hear from the forum is what is the full
impact of enabling this? And how in fact does it work.
For example, if I request a website, and I am denied access to that site
by a Site&Content rule, will it then failover to this option and then
say,
"Hey, let's forget about the WEB Proxy service and simply forward the
request straight to the requested WEB Server".
Now I am quite sure that it will NOT function as my example above, but I
would like to understand exactly when this option is used, and how it
goes
about deciding when to bypass the WEB Proxy and when not to.
Cheers
