I have used mod_proxy, but have never set up a Squid reverse proxy set up, so I can give no advice which is the "better" choice. On the other hand, Squid IS a dedicated web cache... Neither method would require changing any of the HTML. An other option would be to just run a CVS based synchronization (or a nightly transfer if changes are not too frequent) between the two. *shrug* Chris
