The primary purpose of the SPS is to route requests to the appropriate destination servers in the enterprise. The SPS routes requests using the proxy engine, which is built into the server. The proxy engine interprets proxy rules and provides both a forward and a redirect service to handle the disposition of all user requests for back end resources.
Proxy rules define the details of how the SPS forwards or redirects requests to resources located on destination servers within the enterprise. A set of proxy rules is defined in an XML configuration file according to the proxy rules DTD, which is installed with the SPS.
Note: The proxyrules.xml file contains a default rule that forwards requests to http://www.ca.com$0, where $0 appends the entire URI from the original request to the destination, which is www.ca.com in this case. You must modify this rule to suit your environment.
