Proxy

Typically, remote networks on the other side of a router or switch cannot receive
multicast or Wake-On-LAN packets from the Deployment Server. Setting the managed
computer as a proxy client computer forwards or re-creates the multicast packets. A
managed client computer setup as a multicast proxy simply acts as a Deployment
Server and advertises the server's name and IP address through multicasting. You can
also set the managed computer as a proxy to send Wake-On-LAN packets.
