Based on the above I would go for a layered approach. One layer handling
the compression and tunnel, the other layer handling the quality.
Squid isn't really suitable for any of these layers, but fits quite well
between the layers for caching the results.
connection/compression & control layer.
quality layer, consisting of
squid cache (optional if your recoder has a good cache)
recoder
optional outer squid cache
internet
the contol component selects the proper quality layer depending on the
users preference.
the different quality layers share a common outer squid layer for caching
Internet traffic.
