All,

I am the admin for a large Fortune 500 company using squid. I am
currently supporting 55,000 clients using squid in a multi-tiered arch.
using Sun UE250s. I am currently peered using ICP with local machines
using 46gb of cache, and NLANR using digests. I average less than
1.6sec response time per page.

Squid's kickin' major buttocks. :)

L8r.
