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.

I'm looking to replace a Microsoft ISA proxy server sitting in our DMZ and proxying in requests from the internet to our internal server network.

Question is could I do this with the ACE service module? Protocols we looking to proxy is OFTP,AS2,FTP,HTTP and HTTPS
