~ I have read about Squid as surrogate server, but apache's httpd itself has built-in web caching features ~ Would you share with me your experience, if you have tried both scenarios specially when employing virtual hosts and aliases? ~ To me (and everyone else I guess ;-)) bandwidth is the critical factor on a server. How important would be serving a page right off the cache when it still has to go its merry way on a slow connection? Relating to this issue, something that isn't still clear to me; does squid serve the static gzipped content returned by the server, which much browsers can handle? ~ Had anyone actually gauge the performance gain you have while using squid instead of just using apache? ~ Thanks lbrtchx
