Cache Control
What Is Caching? How Does It Apply to the Web?
Caching is a well-known concept in computer science: when programs continually access the same set of instructions, a massive performance benefit can be realized by storing those instructions in RAM. This prevents the program from having to access the disk thousands or even millions of times during execution by quickly retrieving them from RAM. Caching on the Web is similar in that it avoids a roundtrip to the origin Web server each time a resource is requested and instead retrieves the file from a local computer’s browser cache or a proxy cache closer to the user.

Understanding Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration Server (ISA) Planning and Optimization
Planning decisions are critical for a successful firewall implementation. Missing some of the most important points when designing a firewall implementation can jeopardize our information integrity and the overall network security.
An Introduction to Network Firewalls and Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration Server
Everyone needs a firewall. If you run a web site, have a dial-up connection or control a corporate backbone you have to install a firewall. This will allow the control of what internal information from your network or computer is allowed to go out, and what information is allowed to come in. Taking advantage of a simple firewall installation can help you preserve your data and report all attempts of unauthorized access.
