Indeed, and in the above Squid would proxy for the wget client. Now to the more interesting question: How do you make anything useful out of the above, if it is only the wget command who is using the proxy? > This has the effect of pre-caching content for LAN users who may wish to > browse the pre-cached pages at a later date and time. If you send the clients to the proxy then you are proxying for the clients. Regards Henrik
