Did you read the following: http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/ReverseProxy http://wiki.squid-cache.org/ConfigExamples#Reverse_Proxy_.28Acceleration.29 These will give a very good idea on what this involves, and will answer your #1. For #2, if your Squid is hosted nearer to your users, then it might save you bandwidth. But, if Squid is hosted just beside your HTTP server (as is usually the case), then it will not save bandwidth for you. What it will do is, it will help save resources on your HTTP server (mostly if HTTP server is on a separate machine), so that you can server more users. Squid is more efficient at file delivery than an HTTP server. For #3, this is not the premise of Squid (AFAIK).
