Last time I looked into this, apache's proxy was solely a reverse proxy,
and useless for our purposes. That is no longer true, but the associated
mod_cache module still appears to be experimental.
In any case, squid currently provides the forward proxy/caching service
on the XS.
I forgot the key issuen here: it is difficult to use apache as a transparent
forward proxy...
The issue is that most proxies cease functioning if they aren't
connected to the internet. They only cache cacheable pages, etc.

Squid apparently is not well suited to serve up cached pages when no
internet access is
available. It was recommended that I use WWWOFFLE for this situation. Here
is the
process I used to get it installed and running on my 0.6 XS server:
