Hi
I've written a brief success story about how we used squid and a DNS
trick to solve a networking problem between ISPs that was affecting
our webs' performance and public image.
Long story short: all the users of a particular ISP had problems
accessing our pages because of a routing problem between that ISP and
ours. We ended up installing a squid reverse-proxy on that ISP's
datacenter, and redirecting all its users there by returning a
different DNS response depending on the client's IP address. This
method could be extended to use as many ISPs/proxies as needed,
creating a homegrown, Akamai-like CDN.

Hope someone finds it useful. :)
