[squid-users] Migrating from iPlanet Web Proxy Server

Hi

I will be getting rid of an old version of iPlanet Web Proxy Server. I
would like to replace it with squid. I don't have any experience with
squid, so here are a few questions regarding its capabilities.

I need to do the following:

. limit access to documents or sites based on individual users, groups,
IP addresses, host names or wild card expressions
. route traffic to appropriate web site or proxy server
. filter objectionable URLs and content, including viruses, HTML tags
and ActixeX content
. reduce network traffic by caching

I have three networks separated by a firewall running HTTP Proxy.
Traffic from each of the networks goes through that firewall and then
is chained to the DMZ Proxy Server (squid) before being routed to the
appropriate web server (no Internet access).

Is squid a good match for this project? Thank you very much for your
input.

Regards

Marcin
