The entries you define and place in the Proxy Distribution Table can be considered
turnstiles for each authentication request that Cisco Secure ACS receives from the
AAA client. How the authentication request is defined in the Proxy Distribution
Table depends on where it is to be forwarded. If a match to an entry in the Proxy
Distribution Table that contains proxy information is found, Cisco Secure ACS
forwards the request to the appropriate AAA server.
The Character String column in the Proxy Distribution Table always contains an
entry of "(Default)". The "(Default)" entry matches authentication requests
received by the local Cisco Secure ACS server that do not match any other defined
character strings. While you cannot change the character string definition for the
"(Default)" entry, you can change the distribution of authentication requests
matching the "(Default)" entry. At installation, the AAA server associated with
