Before I continue down that path a bit more... shouldn't it be
possible to have SQUID talk to named much like 'ping?' In my simple
pea-like brain, I'm thinking if SQUID didn't make it mandatory to have

My situation is such that I'm bound by either SQUID or my ISP's proxy
(I use StarBand satellite).
