I have installed a machine as TFS proxy server,but I dnt know beyond that how should I get it to work.I have added the TFS server in the proxy.config file,but when I chk for statistics on caching,it shows 0 on all counters.If I connect thi machine to the DMZ for VPN access by remote users,how will this machine connect to TFS server?
