Cc: to docs@ The module pages can document the module; I think that's appropriate for reference documentation. What's missing is more of a “how do I set up X” guide. I think the topics could be: • forward proxy (and access control) with or without cacheing • reverse proxy with or without cacheing • balancing and high availability for reverse proxies I think this is me volunteering to at least draft some text, if people agree this approach makes sense. -- Tim Bannister – is...@c8h10n4o2.org.uk
