Thank you, this makes perfect sense. So redirectors like squidGuard, albeit very useful for my purposes, are really taking advantage (in a sense) of the original purpose of the redirector design requirement in squid? So if I understand correctly, one use for a redirector could be for load balancing on a network, is this correct? If so and if not, how else might the redirector be used, aside from blocking purposes? Murrah Boswell
