Ok, this topic is now officially OT...
Better to use a HTTP proxy.
What do you recommend?
Well, Squid obviously, but then I am perhaps somewhat biased..
Why do you recommend Squid? I am very interested.
Obvious ;-)

I briefly checked out both, and this is what I concluded:
- Squid seems more complicated to set up. Even after
reading the docs, I still have no idea how to configure this.

- I asked how to do this on the mailing list, but I guess my
question was too basic and nobody was interested in
replying
patience,
- Squid can do LOTS of stuff, but all I want is a reverse proxy
http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/FAQ/FAQ-20.html
- I already have an Apache installation and I know how to use
reverse proxying
Despite this, I'm always interested in the "best" solution... I would indeed
be very curious to know why you think Squid is the best choice.
My personal opinion is that.
I have using squid for three years ago in many environments
chain proxy, reverse proxy, ssl proxy, filtering proxy...
and i`m agree too with Henrik.
Thanks
