Squid is a high-performance proxy caching server for Web clients, supporting FTP, gopher, and HTTP data objects. Unlike traditional caching software, Squid handles all requests in a single, non-blocking, I/O-driven process. Squid keeps meta data and especially hot objects cached in RAM, caches DNS lookups, supports non-blocking DNS lookups, and implements negative caching of failed requests. Squid consists of a main server program squid, a Domain Name System lookup program (dnsserver), a program for retrieving FTP data (ftpget), and some management and client tools.
The squid-sysvinit contains SysV initscritps support.
all Apache <-> Squid <-> Zope mapping/port info is contained in the URL generated by Apache: RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://127.0.0.1:3128/8080/VirtualHostBase/... all we have to do is strip off the Squid port to redirect to the correct backend - that's what squid2zope does. Use it as the 'url_rewrite_program' in your Squid.
