Dot Net Remoting Question:

Remoting Performance and Auto Web Proxy .

The .Net Framework 2.0 has significant changes to its
support for proxies including support for connection-
specific proxy settings, automatic proxy configuration and
the ability to automatically refreshing proxy settings
whenever the active connection changes. These features can
be very useful in .Net Remoting but the auto web proxy
feature can also affect performance. If you do not need
these settings in your client it might be useful to disable
them.

There are a number of ways to disable this:



1. In Internet Explorer Open Internet Options,
(either through control panel or the Internet Explorer™
tools menu), switch to the connections tab, and select LAN
settings. Clear all checkboxes under automatic
configuration. This will disable automatic proxy settings
for the current user (note that this will not work for
ASP.NET sites making outgoing web service calls because
they run under a different user).

2. Imperatively disable it by setting
System.Net.WebRequest.DefaultWebProxy = null;

3. In your config file bypass the proxy for your web-
server. You can also disable the default proxy altogether.
