Depends on what you and your users needs. On some sites I worked on, they really want ad free pages (and some cencorship). Pages come up very fast, etc. etc. For that, they used specific apps cooperating with squid proxy (redirector), like squirm or squidguard. Junkbuster is another good alternative that comes to my mind that have that exact function. The benefit of using such apps is flexibility, among others. You can apply filters not just by domain names, but also path and filenames. Block URL containing /ads/ dir, for example. Another option to save bandwidth is to redirect user to local copies of frequent access files. On the other hand, some sites just don't want restricted accesses, even to speed their web experience, or their user bases are just too complex. Like ISP. > Thanks, > > Sean > HTH -- H. D.
