Colleagues -

We are going to install a proxy server (to ease our password problems) and
are wondering how it might affect the response time for database searching
(on- and off-campus).

Has anyone done any research on this, or have anecdotal evidence (good,
bad, indifferent)?

TIA.

                        Tim
