NEWS The Internet Security and Accleration server, which provides firewall protection, traffic filtering, bandwidth control and caching capabilities, replaces last year's Proxy model. The new server is part of Microsoft's .Net line up. Seven other new servers have already been released as part of the .Net initiative. The server will run only on Windows 2000. Third party vendors are expected to add additional features including reporting tools and URL blockers.
