I attended your talk at NANOG. One question I have is - why use SQUID? Why not have the web server directly connected?
Originally it was because I used BGP and the Web server didn't have a strong enough kernel for (then) 38,000 routes. Now it's because the web server only has one Ethernet interface and on the BSD/OS system can have 12 (three Zynx PCI cards with 4 ports each), and the customer may get to the point where four or five providers (remember, this is DEC PAIX) seems like a good idea. In the future it'll be because there are more than one web server and we'll want to stash a whole farm behind a single or small number of Squids. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
