...or... not even squid+ldap because then we force all the users to authenticate. we can even use LDAP authentication with PHP. you have to do some reading about it. but remember, the Ateneo LDAP student directory is available and fully functional. of course, you already know about this. > Hmmm.

M$ is just popularizing it now since they never really thought of it before since they were a desktop (toy) operating system (and probably still is).
