HTTP Redirect

20.1 Overview

HTTP redirect forwards the client’s HTTP request (except HTTP traffic destined for the ZyWALL) to a web proxy server. In the following example, proxy server A is connected to the DMZ interface. When a client connected to the LAN zone wants to open a web page, its HTTP request is redirected to proxy server A first. If proxy server A cannot find the web page in its cache, a policy route allows it to access the Internet to get them from a server. Proxy server A then forwards the response to the client.
