Squid is quite commonly used for this purpose in front of "heavy" web servers such as PHP. See the no_cache directive, and optionally also the cache_dir null directive for how to disable cache. You may also want to increase the buffer size used by Squid. In Squid-2.5 and earlier this can only be changed by modifying READ_AHEAD_GAP in defines.h. In Squid-3.0 and later this will be configurable from squid.conf. Please note that this is in addition to the TCP windows. Regards Henrik
