Proxy Cache.

symptom

How to flush or clear the Proxy Cache server.

cause

If it is suspected that the proxy cache contains corrupt data, or if some sites have become unreachable for a moment,
      502 and    504 Gateway errors may result.

fix

To clear the cache issue the following commands at the server console without the quotes.
      - "unload proxy"
      -  delete etc\proxy\pxyhosts and pxyhosts.sav (These files are just cached DNS entries that may need to be cleared. BTW these will be re-created         when proxy loads)
      - "load proxy -cc"

The "cc" is for Clear Cache".  This will clear or flush the proxy's cache to zero.
