I guess most people would recommend squid, Out of interest I tested out the new proxy modules for Apache 2.0 and 2.2 as a proxy and it does work quite well, has a fair amount of options for cache size and what types to cache and expire. My main aim for it was just to run it in the office for a while and have a strict rule to just cache stuff over 1 meg or larger. To me it seems silly and a waste of cpu / hd / io on the proxy server if you bother caching 10k files while everyone in the office is downloading open office and firefox all day. I would of liked to try it in production if I could figure out how to run it transparently let alone for a bridge, but I couldn't quite get there. Mike
