Have anybody else implemented this ?
- or are there a howto on the subject, which benchmarks the varios
solutions and gives pros and cons.

Right now I'm having apache running on port 81, but looking into running
apache on port 80 as normal but bind it to localhost 127.0.0.1, but
still not the solution I'm after.

I would like to have a setup where I can "unplug" the squid cache
without getting downtime.
- had something in mind where squid had top priority on port 80 and
leaving apache run on the same port
* guess it's nonsence, but would be nice though.

Are there any other solutions ? - anyone ..
- dosen't have to be with squid
