Squid is a dedicated proxy/web accelerator, and it does that quite well :]. I'd be quite interested to know how much RAM apache needed to run a 30-40Gb cache. Also, from a security point of view, having your web server and proxy different is a very good idea. Apache's proxying is getting better, but still (IMO) not up to scratch. > Also I run an instance of Apache the most time, so I don't need to fire > up another server process just to have a proxy. Sure. I tend to run both, but to each their own. Disclaimer: I'm a core squid developer. Rob
