i have read discussion that using a web-caching proxy for a single unit is rather pointless since it would not gain any more speed bonuses than the internal cache of the browser (unless your browser does not have one :). DNS information caching on the other hand is different. I use one at home since i can't rely on the name servers of PT&T during the lucky times that I can connect on their own dialup network. :( ciao! -- "Programming, an artform that fights back" Anuerin G.
