A company's network administrator is configuring a server that will sit between internal users and the Internet to filter web traffic for security and store frequently requested pages to improve performance. Which type of server is the administrator configuring?
A proxy server is an intermediary that inspects web requests, applies security policies, and caches frequently accessed content so pages load faster for subsequent users. A DNS server simply resolves host names to IP addresses. A DHCP server dynamically assigns IP addresses and other network parameters to clients. A firewall monitors and controls traffic based on security rules but is not designed to cache web content.
