The subject implies you're looking at MS Proxy, but you really haven't
given enough information for us to help yet.
We'd need to know things like what the rest of the architectue looks like,
what protocols you plan to use to administer the web server, put content
on it, etc..
The answer might range from:
If there's no connection to an "inside" and no other services run on the
web server, and you put content on it by walking up to the console
with a floppy or CD, then you may not need any firewall at all, just shut off
all other services.
ranging to:
If you're setting up a brand new Internet connection, with inside people
needing to access the web, and your web server need to talk to a database,
and you need to put content on it via NBT, etc.. then you may need something a
bit more
full-featured than MSP.
