DRLM PROXY

Installing clients in offline environments can be a daunting task, as clients do not have access to download ReaR package and it should be done by hand, without the “drlm instclient” command.

With DRLM PROXY a DRLM server, with acces to the ReaR packages repositories, can act as an intermediate, get the requestet ReaR package and serve it to the client.
