Christian,
We use the MS Proxy to reverse some extranet access. The only issues are
about security since it do not support reverse proxy for https, nor ftp.
Only http. And, if you need a user/password access (not anonymous), that
user will be able to access both the directions of the proxy.
I can't help you about the other products.
Regards,
Enio A. Danzmann Jr.
