Typically people don't run Squid as a proxy and accelerator at the same time, though I think it's possible.
Security being relative, I can recall only one security concern I've had with Squid in the two years I've worked with it. That's fewer incidents than what OpenSSH has had (not that I'm bashing OpenSSH, mind you, just comparing the two in terms of recently discovered holes).
And Happy Holidays to you too! : ) (10 hours to LotR...)

Hi folks, I see in Tom's documentation for Shorewall that he runs Squid transparently on a box in his DMZ rather than on his LAN, and I'm just curious why?
Thank you, Happy Holidays! Craig
