Zabbix Proxy front end and can Zabbix Server act as a proxy?

[hanisirfan]

Hi. I've a few questions related to Zabbix Proxy and Zabbix Servers

May I know whether Zabbix Proxy has a front end to monitor the hosts like the one on Zabbix Server? From these links, for my own conclusion is that Zabbix Proxy doesn't have a front end and its only purpose to collect and buffer collected data before sending it to Zabbix Server to display/process. Is this correct?:

Next, may I know whether a Zabbix Server can act as a proxy to another Zabbix Server instance?
What I meant by this, assume that I have a main Zabbix Server at Site A. I've another Zabbix Server at Site B (with front end etc) monitoring all the hosts on Site B and I want to proxy all the data to the main Zabbix Server at Site A. Is this possible?

Proxy can only act as buffer to server. Its data is removed after sending to server.

Zabbix server can’t act as a proxy. Look at Zabbix HA.

the web front end is separate from the server, it can run on the same host or any host with DB and minor server access. The front end gets only server status info directly from the server, most comes from the DB. The front end is basically a LAMP stack.

LenR let's say I've an instance of proxy running at a site. This instance host both proxy and DB. If I install and configure front end on the same instance, am I able to view the history and trend that collected by the proxy?

Or I can't since proxy only act a buffer for server (data on proxy is deleted after sending it to server)?
