Similarly, I'm always up for giving my proxy talk if it's welcome (after the first day since I can't make it until Tues). If we think proxy is a big topic, we ought to arrange for a general overview like my proxy talk followed by more specific deep dives such as what Jeff mentions here and a session on new sexiness like WebSockets. Tuning for throughput is also an interesting topic and in line with the conversations lately (Re: commercial support). A side note on SSL/security: I had the idea a few years back that there is probably enough content to do a "here is 5 minutes about how to configure SSL in httpd" and then 50 minutes of other important security topics (What Ciphers should I enable? Should I use SSLv3 any more? How to treat my keys and what the hell is an HSM anyway? Passphrase encrypted keys or not? Should I trust my distro's build?). Thoughts are welcome on that topic... not sure if I'm overly paranoid or if these are things that people actually want to hear? -- Daniel Ruggeri
