So I take it the cacheraq must be an in-line active proxy?Iis it possible to
make it act as a passive caching proxy? (only works for people that key in
the proxy info in the browser)

isn't this exactly what squid does?

BTW, sun/cobalt, running redhat.com 2.4.17 now on my test box, (and in a couple of weeks on the XRAQ2 upgrade experiment / testbed too) Apache/1.3.23 (Unix) (Red-Hat/Linux) mod_ssl/2.8.7 OpenSSL/0.9.6b DAV/1.0.3 PHP/4.1.2 mod_perl/1.26 so what will these brand new as yet unreleased RAQ550's be running?
