Our input and output to/from Squid is coming from applications on the same machine (in order to do processing of the traffic first before it is handed off to Squid), ie: traffic in -> [ appA -> Squid -> appB ] -> traffic out where [ ... ] = inside the same machine. I was wondering about unix domain sockets because we thought it might alleviate some of the load off the TCP stack. Regards, Chris
