You can set Squid up to be a fine transparent proxy server.
This probably won't affect many people, but Squid does an interesting trick as a proxy server. Whilst page requests and the like hit Squid as HTML/1.1 requests , Squid only sends out HTML/1.0 requests. For the most part this shouldn't affect things, but some web app servers don't particularly like 1.0 requests. I've no idea what the technical differences are, beyond that I've been told they're "quirky for the most part" and "a maze of small differences" ----- Paul Graydon Network Technician Haywards Heath College http://www.hhc.ac.uk (01444) 456281 "Joy is not in things; it is in us."
