Introduction

Explicit and transparent proxy deployments can be used with:

• IP spoofing

  Ordinarily, when Content Gateway proxies requests for clients it communicates with origin servers using its own IP address in place of the client’s IP address. This is the standard operation of forward proxies.

  IP spoofing configures the proxy to use one of the following when communicating with the origin server:

  • The IP address of the client (basic IP spoofing)
  • A specified IP address (range-based IP spoofing)

  For more information, see Content Gateway IP spoofing.

  For configuration details, see Configuring IP spoofing.

• IPv6 dual-stack networks

  See Content Gateway support for IPv6.
