I agree. But we have infrastructure problems that really push hard to make it a single ip. We'll be doing WCCP and standard proxy. But a large number of the clients have hardcoded proxy ips and make it prohibitive to change it to a new address. So you have two options: - setup this hardcoded

Good points. I was thinking the same thing. By Open Source fear I meant that fear of using something now blessed by a major company you can read about on CNN Money. R --- On Thu, 7/17/08, Rhino [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: From: Rhino [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [squid-users] Squid
