Thanks Kinkie, and Chris - much appreciated!
I am definitely going to upgrade Squid.
Regarding changing to transparent mode, I'm glad to learn that I can
do it with a single Ethernet port, however, I am rethinking doing
this, based on your input. I certainly don't want to complicate
things for no solid reason.
We recently upgraded our network to MPLS (over a mix of DSL and T1
lines), and our network provider recommended that we switch to
transparent mode on our proxy server. They manage all of the
routers, and they have set our Squid box as the default route for
all of our remote locations. I am questioning their recommendation:
My thought now is that the Cisco's should default route everything
out to the proper Internet portal based on location, and we leave
the Squid box to do caching and proxying, and leave the routing to
the Cisco's.

Hi kevin,
I've running squid transparent for years, and for scalability reasons
I find myself just wishing I had everyone configure their browsers. mho
