===8<==============Original message text===============
We're currently doing WCCP redirection at the boarder routers. If the page
is on the local Terra Byte of cache, it comes from the squid box rather than
the web. If the files are stored both compressed and uncompressed on the
squid box, clients with a compression client can pull the same data faster
than a client without it. This would not be for pages on one of our web
servers, it would be for the most common Terra Byte of Internet traffic.
