If you configure multiple subscription proxies for your environment, you can configure proxy lists for client updates. If a given proxy is unavailable when a client requests updates, the client contacts each proxy on its proxy list in turn until it succeeds in downloading the updates. You can configure a proxy list for client updates globally for your entire CA User Activity Reporting Module environment, or locally for individual subscription clients.
With multiple subscription proxies, you can also configure a proxy list for content updates. These are servers that receive content updates, such as queries, reports and correlation rules, and distribute them to the Management Server where they are stored for use by CA User Activity Reporting Module. You can configure a proxy list for content updates only at the global level.
Proxy lists help ensure that subscription updates are successfully retrieved and distributed in a timely manner. Even in a small CA User Activity Reporting Module environment, it is good practice to configure at least one backup proxy for both client and content updates, in case the primary proxy is unavailable.

Important! In a mixed subscription environment, where you have configured both online and offline subscription proxies, do not include offline proxies in the proxy list for any online subscription client. If you do, the online subscription client automatically receives all updates that are manually installed on the offline proxy server, instead of the modules you selected.
