I have considered it, and it is my second option if I cannot tame Squid :-) - apache2 is running, though with a few memory-heavy modules so to run a proxy I have to start a second daemon anyway (to keep the memory footprint under control). Only ever played with apache as a reverse proxy many years ago -- I have no idea how it fares as a general forward proxy, and whether it is comparable with squid under the kind of constraints I have. I do understand apache's memory model a whole lot better, but I am willing to learn Squid and tweak a bit if it's better. Within the constraints I have - do you have info/experience indicating apache would fare better or same? cheers, m -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff _______________________________________________ Server-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel
