Use of web cache devices

[Jason Richardson <A00JER1 () WPO CSO NIU EDU>]

A couple of quick questions, how many of you are or have run web
cache/accelerators in your networks?  For those of you that have, how
big is your school, how big is your network pipe, and do you still have
it?  We have been running a Cacheflow (now known as Bluecoat) web cache
for a few years with somewhat mixed results.  Our current device has
EOL'ed and we are considering whether to replace it with the recommended
replacement that can also be leveraged as a security device of sorts -
at a high price of course.  Any input would be appreciated.

TIA,
