A technician is setting up an environment where popular and frequently accessed web pages are stored locally on the internal network. What type of server will accomplish this task?

The technician is setting up a Proxy Server to accomplish the task of storing popular and frequently accessed web pages locally on the internal network.

A proxy server acts as an intermediary between end users and the internet. It can cache (store) frequently accessed web pages and resources. When a user requests a web page that has been previously accessed, the proxy server can provide the cached version quickly, without needing to retrieve it from the internet again. This can improve access speed and reduce bandwidth usage.

The other server types serve different purposes:

• Print Server: Manages networked printers and print jobs. It is not involved in caching or serving web content.
• DNS Server (Domain Name System server): Translates domain names into IP addresses, facilitating the finding of websites on the internet. It does not cache web content.
• FTP Server (File Transfer Protocol server): Used for the transfer and storage of files between systems, typically not used for caching web content.

Therefore, for caching and serving frequently accessed web content locally, a proxy server is the appropriate choice.
