squid-2.2.STABLE3: description + notes

Squid Internet Object Cache

Squid offers high performance proxy caching for Web clients, It supports FTP, Gopher, and HTTP requests. The cache software, available only in source, is relatively fast because it never needs to fork, is implemented with non-blocking I/O, keeps meta data and hot objects in VM, and caches DNS lookups. Squid caches can be arranged hierarchically for an improvement in response times and a reduction in bandwith usage. Squid runs on all popular Unix platforms.
