[lug] Squid config

[Chris M]

The Squid FAQ is a very good read, someplace at lanl.net I believe, 
certainly www.squid.org?

Squid is OK for personal or light corporate use, it sucks a large one for
anything mission critical or performance intensive.

If you are interested in caching check out http://www.cacheflow.com for high
end stuff.
