Hi everybody, > That sounds more like WAN optimisation than proxying.
Yes of course, but Squid also optimize the WAN. Squid is a Proxy&Cache Squid is proxy and cache for http, ftp, gopher and wais (whois also ;-) ) >>> I have a little question: is it possible to use Squid for caching >>> another kind of traffic? >>>> >>>> Control — Proxy Services >>>> Proxy support for multiple protocols >>>> -> HTTP, CIFS, SSL, FTP, MAPI, P2P, MMS, RTSP, QuickTime, TCP-Tunnel, >>>> DNS >>>> -> Bandwidth management on all proxy services >>>> -> SSL Termination & Proxy (forward and reverse) >>>> -> Control encrypted traffic for all users and applications inside and >>>> outside the enterprise >>>> >>>> This product caches and compress CIFS and several other protocols. >>>> Could be a new feature in next versions of Squid >>> I doubt it.

For the Squid point of view, it is a transparent caching of the Windows Files System trying to optimize the WAN and speed up the accesses. Thanks for you effort for understanding my English Salu2.
