I am happy with the way squid is performing, though it would be nice to add the facility to pre-load web sites into the cache.
I suspect that so many sites generate dynamic pages that pre-loading a site won't be useful. Anyway, if Squid is operating properly then the site gets pre-loaded as soon as the pages are accessed, so all you need to do to get started is to run through the major parts of it before the lesson. If you have lots of cache, the pre-loading might last for days - or weeks. All management-free, automatic and flexible. Even if a site is all dynamic, the image content is usually static and you will find Squid has cached those. -- Christopher Dawkins, Felsted School, Dunmow, Essex CM6 3JG 01371-822698, mobile 07816 821659 cchd@felsted.essex.sch.uk
