   The Number of Users list provides the following information about Proxy Services activity:

   • Username: NDS or Novell eDirectory name or IP address of the user. For an IP address, the DNS domain name will be displayed if it exists in the local DNS list.

     The local DNS list is built automatically each time the WHO IS or DNS Hostname command is invoked using the right-click menu.

   • Hosts Accessed: Number of hosts accessed for the specified period of time.
   • Hit Volume: Total number of times data was found in the cache for all hosts accessed.
   • Miss Volume: Total number of times data was not found in the cache for all hosts accessed.
   • Hit Size: Total amount of data that was found in the cache for all hosts accessed.
   • Miss Size: Total amount of data that was not found in the cache for all hosts accessed.

   The Hosts Accessed list box provides the following information about Proxy Services activity:

   • Protocol: Protocol string representing the port number used for the connection: HTTP, FTP, HTTPS, and so on. For example, HTTP represents a connection made using port 80.
   • Hostname: DNS domain name or IP address of the accessed host.
   • Hit Volume: Number of times data was found in the cache for this host.
   • Miss Volume: Number of times data was not found in the cache for this host.
