Oh, I agree completely. There's like 1(!) book on Proxy and then there's
the hypertext M$ setup guide. I had read this book completely before trying
to set up Proxy and it had very wrong information in some critical places.
I am very displeased by the lack of resources for this product.

The thing I like, however, is the degree of control I have over my users. I
don't know how far you can get with spagetti or the proxy you're using, but
I can really get picky since I'm using my NT user database. Probably my
favorite feature.
