# Proxy considerations for tracked applications

In a proxy environment, the criteria should be defined in the PingDirectoryProxy server, because the PingDirectoryProxy server passes the application name through to the PingDirectory server in the intermediate client control.

If a client of the PingDirectoryProxy server or the PingDirectory server happens to use the intermediate client control, then the client name specified in the control is used as the application name regardless of the criteria listed in the `tracked-application` property.
