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 supports SSL, extensive access controls, and full request logging.
By using the lightweight Internet Cache Protocol, squid caches can be
arranged in a hierarchy or mesh for additional bandwidth savings.
See /usr/doc/squid-3.1.6/README.SBo for configuration help.
Note that the default squid.conf and /etc/logrotate.d/squid files have
changed in this release, so be sure to merge the changes into place.
