Hi,
i am just wanting to start a discussion around what features settings you can change to the websense appliances to improve performance. We have 3 appliances that are managed and apparently in a load balanced configuration but im told that the way that the appliance load balance is to load up one appliance and then once full off load new sessions to the next one.
we have around 2000 users and we have done the most basic test which is to bypass the proxy and go straight out the firewall. works great. switch back to using a proxy and it runs so slow. we have a very fast internet connection and we know that is not the bottleneck.
what im looking for is peoples experiences and what they may of done to improve performance. from looking we have all the features switched on, tunneled protocol detection, file analysis etc.
My knowledge is basic on these appliances and working my way through them so if anyone has any advice on any performance tuning that would be great.
thanks
