What is " a PROXY SERVER? "

Hi,

1. This is related to a "PROXY SERVER"
2. My questions: (Please FIRSTLY explain it with your own WORDINGS, and then provide the "Links"), i) Is a proxy server a PART of DHCP Server? (That provides the IP address to the client), ii) Or is it PART of the DNS Server? (That do the Name Resolution), iii) What is this "Proxy Server?" (The Function, The Purpose, etc), iv) What is the difference between This Proxy Server and a DHCP Relay Agent?, v) How to configure this "Proxy Server?"
3. Thank you

What do you want a proxy server for? You need to specify what you want to do and then solutions to your request will follow. If we don't know what you want to do, we can't give you an answer.

Hi Placebo69a,

1. Per your explanation, it seems that the Proxy server is a third party software, right ?

2. Does Windows 2003 server have the capability to be a proxy server? (I mean without installing the 3rd party software)

3. Thank you
