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. *** NOTE: default paths have changed from prior version *** If you need the old paths, edit /etc/squid/squid.conf, /etc/rc.d/rc.squid, and /etc/logrotate.d/squid as needed. If you need to start squid at boot, make sure /etc/rc.d/rc.squid is executable and add the following to /etc/rc.d/rc.local: if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.squid ]; then /etc/rc.d/rc.squid start fi See /usr/doc/squid-3.0.STABLE2/README.SBo for configuration help.
