is there a multi-threaded proxy out there?

Which http proxy to choose nowadays?
Squid.
Squid? But as far as I understand it is single process which sounds not
too effective for current dual cpu dual core servers.
Apache? Something else?
You could span multiple instances of Squid on different ports. Don´t
forget to make different processes use differente pid files, otherwise
they will quit with this error: "Squid is already running". Keep in
mind that Squid needs quick access to its cache (hard drive). I don´t
know if several Squid processes are able to share the same cache -
take a look and tell us.
Or you could use several virtual servers with virtualization (Xen,
VMware, etc). Again, this might not be the most optimized scheme for
hard drive access. I would *try* this option, if Xen is an option and
the CPU is able to do full virtualization.
Both options might use round robin through iptables to balance the load.
