2. Advanced architecture: transparent redirection
When deploying an Internet access solution based on the use of proxies declared in client workstation browsers, we quickly come up against the problem of how to behave in the event of the loss of one of the site's Internet exit points. The browser always tries to ask the application relay to do the job.
