Paul, the whole Polsih academic network uses Squid for web caching for thousands of workstations in towns like Krakow, Poznan, Wroclaw, Gdansk/Gdynia/Sopot or Silesian aglomeration. Check this out e.g.:
http://www.wcss.wroc.pl/webalizer-2.01-10/CACHE/usage_200304.html http://www.pg.gda.pl/OI/w3cache/http_stat_avg.html http://w3cache.ds.pg.gda.pl/20030731.html 13 million of requests per month (433 k per day). If you are worry about performance - Squid isn't as good as commercial appliances, athough you could make a cluster of squid's installations and share clients among them e.g. using proxy automatic configuration. Squid scales well - you could install it virtually on any machine running Unix and take unused resources into business.
