Even though it's a pain to set up if you've never worked with it before,
I have been using Apache (1.3.14) at work as a cacheing proxy for
months, the logging is great, I can control access to the internet via
the built in access control etc, and it's a cinch to block sites (such
as recruitment, warez, etc) that the company don't allow access to.
How (apart from being easy to configure) does Squid compare? Are there
any documented comparisons out there that might convince me to tear it
all out, and use Squid instead maybe - bearing in mind that I'm already
yanking the Apache access logs into a MySQL database weekly, and
performing my own wierd and wonderful analysis on them with Perl!
