Need some help

I'm stuck on a question that I have 2 different answers for.

Which 3 services does a proxy server provide?

Cached email
cached client files
cached webpages
Cached DNS Information

just a little confused with the 2 different answers...

I think the answer is cached client files, cached webpages, cached DNS Information.

a proxy server dosent cache client files.

i would have thought dns too for name resolution of websites.

Think about ActiveX or JPG's, or PDF's downloaded via HTTP etc. Those are considered client files, not web pages, and yet they are cached. However, it won't cache email.

demikey4u

cached client files, cached webpages and Cached DNS Information. Email caching does not occur on the proxy server.

i agree with demikey
