Configure the MashZone NextGen server to work with a proxy server

MashZone NextGen is only compatible with HTTP proxy servers.

If you have a proxy server in your environment that MashZone NextGen should use, you must add configuration information to the MashZone NextGen Server for the proxy server. You can also define a whitelist of addresses that do not require proxy server access. See Define a Proxy Server Whitelist for MashZone NextGen for more information.
