I have a last question concerning this topic : Suppose I would tell you : In front of my internet server I have a WC in transparant mode and it works. the Internet DNS points the URL to the TP-WC and the TP-WC caches the content of the server. Since there is only one webserver (apart from DOS

Thank you Amos, Suppose that I have to put a WC in front of ONLY ONE HTTP server and both WC and web server are behind a load balancer, so the clients will never see whether traffic comes from a WC or from the server, anyway. What mode of WC (so transparent or accelerator) will give me the best

For me it is not clear why an accelerator mode WC is faster then a Transparant Mode webcache. This is how I understand both modes after googling for about half a day on this topic : WC IN TRANSPARANT MODE (WCTM), When an http request hits the WCTM for the second time, then the WC will send its
