The first server you install is setas your Default Subscription Proxy server, which contacts the CA SubscriptionServer periodically to check for updates. Subsequent installations are configuredas clients of that proxy server, contacting it for updates.The default system reduces network traffic by eliminating the need for eachserver to contact the CA Subscription Server directly, but is fully configurable.You can add proxy servers as needed.You can also reduce Internet traffic still further by creating offline proxy servers,which store update information locally and provide it to clients when contacted.Support any offline proxy servers by manually copying everything in thedownload path of the online proxy to the download path of the offline proxy.Offline proxies must be configured in environments where there are CAEnterprise Log Manager servers that cannot access the Internet or anInternet-connected server.When configuring the subscription service, consider the following informationabout certain settings and their interactions:Default Subscription ProxyDefines the default proxy server for the subscription service. The defaultsubscription proxy must have Internet access. If no other subscriptionproxies are defined, this server gets subscription updates from the CASubscription server, downloads binary updates to all clients, and distributescontent updates. If other proxies are defined, clients contact this server forupdates when no subscription proxy list is configured or when the configuredlist is exhausted. The default value is the first server installed in yourenvironment. This value is only available as a global setting.132 Implementation Guide
