DNS cache hit ratio	Indicates the percentage of DNS domain names served from the DNS cache.	Percent
Failed requests	Indicates the rate of requests that have failed because of some type of error.	Conns/Sec	A high failure rate, in comparison to the rate of incoming requests, will suggest that the ISA Proxy server is having difficulty in coping with all incoming requests. Connection settings for incoming Web requests may be incorrectly configured, or connection bandwidth may be insufficient.
Inbound connections	Indicates the rate of incoming connections.	Conns/Sec
Outbound connections	Indicates the rate of outgoing connections.	Conns/Sec
Requests rate	Indicates the rate of requests to the Web Proxy filter.	Requests/Sec	A higher value means that more ISA Proxy server resources will be required to service incoming requests.
