2.0 out of 5 stars Very outdated - based on beta, February 12, 1998

This review is from: Designing & Implementing Microsoft Proxy Server (Designing and Implementing Series) (Paperback)

The biggest problem is that this book was mostly based on the beta version of MS Proxy (called Catapult). So, it did not include key elements of the product that were critical to know for the corresponding Microsoft test. The book only helped with about 40% of the material in the test, so get plenty of hands-on. Regarding the author, Mr. Wolfe's writing style was too juvenile for a professional book, which didn't add to the overall quality.

2.0 out of 5 stars Based on Proxy 1.0, April 6, 1998

This review is from: Designing & Implementing Microsoft Proxy Server (Designing and Implementing Series) (Paperback)

I agree with first set of comments, if you are looking for a book complementing version 2 of proxy server you better wait. New proxy 2 features such as Packet filtering, etc. are not discussed in this book.
