What instructs the ProxySG to skip processing requests sent from specific clients to specific servers?

The Static Bypass List is designed to instruct the ProxySG to skip processing requests that are sent from designated clients to specific servers. This feature is particularly useful in scenarios where certain traffic should not be intercepted or filtered, allowing direct communication between clients and servers without the involvement of the proxy. By defining a Static Bypass List, administrators can ensure that critical or sensitive communications are preserved in their original form, maintaining performance and security for designated applications or services.

In the context of a Blue Coat Proxy, this bypass configuration can help optimize network traffic management by relieving the proxy of the processing burden for certain requests, thereby enhancing overall efficiency. Other options, such as Access Control Lists, Request Filtering, and Traffic Management Policies serve different functions within the ProxySG framework, focusing on aspects like access permissions, specific request modifications based on content, or managing bandwidth and priority of different types of traffic, rather than outright bypassing processing for defined pairs of clients and servers.
