There's nothing unique about Squid which would preclude it from running on a virtual server, or as an ordinary user on a shared server. The bare minimum necessary for Squid to run is creation and read access to a couple of static directories containing read-only configuration files and support files (error pages, icons, etc), the ability to bind a TCP port to accept connections, and the ability to open outgoing connections for DNS lookups and to fetch content. Oh, and the ability to malloc() a goodly amount of RAM :) If you're just looking to run a proxy, you might find that Squid is overkill for your needs. Kevin
