I believe you will will still need the U license.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe that the proxy server will create
individual connections for each host using the proxy service, which will
still result in many concurrent connections. Perhaps one way to lower the
license requirement is to kill each connection almost immediately (not the
default on a PIX), which will free up connections, but with 3k stations, I
don't think the restricted license will will suffice.
Last time I heard, IE can create anywhere from 4 to 8 concurrent connections
per host, so that can get eaten up pretty quickly on a restricted license.
I could be way off base here as I'm no proxy expert!

Subject: PIX-How's that 'U' work?
The PIX 515UR is a real nice addition. I've got 3k workstations behind
24
class C's. The "U")nrestricted license is for thousands of connections.
But, this site has a Proxy server. This means that there will only be a
handful of internal stations really hitting the PIX/net. Of course,
there
is mail, a web server, and one or two other systems needing external
access.
Is that Unrestricted license really necessary? What might I loose down
the
road if I decide on the restricted license?
Best, G.

Subject: NMS -- What is really needed?
I've been perusing the trial version of CiscoWorks 5.0 w/What's Up Gold.
I'm finding that I might want to invest in a more robust Network
Management
System, and/or add-ons. I notice a couple of things at the Cisco site:
The CiscoWorks2000 Campus Bundle.
For Unix boxes, several parts:
Campus Manager
Traffic Director
Resource Manager Essentials (what might be more than
essentials?)
CiscoView
CiscoWorks2000 Management Server
For NT boxes:
LAN Management Solution
Traffic Director
Campus Manager
Resource Manager Essentials
Content Flow Monitor
CiscoView
Then there's a whole bunch of 'other stuff'; device fault manager,
switch
probes, QoS manager, internetwork performance monitor, routed WAN
management, ad. nauseum.
I'm big on test equipment, but must admit some antiquity, on my part,
and
but a notion of just-enough management for a largish campus/metropolitan
area fiber network.
So, some specifics, eh? Single-mode concentric rings connecting 22
sites.
All within 10 miles, as the fiber runs. Three thousand nodes. No
voice.
Gig ether. Cisco equipment, mostly.
Public-sector K-12, so, keep it realistic. Although, now that I think
about
it, no matter who wins The Election, K-12 education has been promised
billion$$$.
I'm waiting for the manna to start falling....
Thanks.
Best, G.
