My company hosts a browser based application which has a lot of Data Entry and dynamically generated screens including Crystal Reports Server as well. I am trying to find a way to improve performance for my end users which are frequently on slow DSL connections to the system that are shared across a number of computers. I was thinking that if I were to use something like an EMachine 1402 or other small computer like that, install Linux and a Proxy Server and place it at the customers site and use it for all traffic to our servers it might speed things up for them some. How well does Squid do for caching images that are displayed on a dynamically generated page? How well does it handle caching from a Windows Based Server? Not sure if this is even possible, but how does it handle dynamically generated pages that are really static in nature, just being generated from ASP/ASPX type pages?
