Squid is a good proxy, and it can be smarter about caching and using If-Modified-Since refresh queries to check data, but it is not going to give a magical improvement over a browser's cache. It might also help somewhat to run a caching-only nameserver on your host and forward all queries to your ISP's nameservers. Disable image autoload in your browser, and/or block .swf. -- -Chuck
