Too elementry - for no experienced beginner only
If you have no experience in Internet network technology then read this book for basic terminologies and overview; otherwise, you will be disappointed because this book lack of depth in all areas. For example, load-balancing chapter only consists of nine pages including tables, sidebar, and sample JavaScript. If this book were printed in regular textbook font then this chapter would be only 3 pages in length..

Only good for beginners
This is a good book for beginners, but if you are a professional looking for any kind of deployment or reference material, you're probably better off saving your money and reading whitepapers available from any proxy vendor (CacheFlow, Inktomi, Network Appliance) web site.

Thorough and useful...
If you're even considering a book on web proxy servers, you've found the right one with this book by Ari. In my job, I was tasked with debugging some issues involving proxy servers. And I can say the book helped me for sure. The book covers some general theory, and also has a lot of detailed stuff about the HTTP protocol and its interaction with proxy servers. Some other useful chapters were on reverse proxys and troubleshooting.
