fyi - salient points from my conversation with microsoft:
* Microsoft is releasing a new version of Proxy Server.
* Version 1.0, already offered firewall class security, and has
been in the marketplace since Nov '96.
* Refer to C&L white paper available on
http://www.microsoft.com/proxy
* The new version will combine enhanced security and performance.
This has never done before.
* Microsoft is enhancing its firewall security features as a
result of feedback from small business and branch office customers.
* Proxy Server 2.0 will be a better alternative to Netscape Proxy
Server and Novell Border Manager
* Enhanced web content caching
* Extensible firewall security
* Proxy Server 2.0 is an "extensible firewall" platform, which
creates opportunities for 3rd parties to extend and complement Proxy
Server's network security capabilities
* 3rd Party Enterprise Firewall Vendors : Checkpoint, Raptor,
Trusted Information Systems
* 3rd Party Virus Scanning & "Rogue Applet" blocking: Trend Micro
* Content Filters - CyberPatrol and Surfwatch
