Playing with persistence on/off and persistence timeout is helping things tremendously. Squid is showing more output/input than the netcaches now. Now I'm working on finding the right combination to keep open connections to a minimum while continuing max throughput. Client persistence in a reverse proxy environment makes no sens, and since my server environment is also load balanced, not sure it makes much sense there (still testing), but definitely persistence timeout plays a big role.
