Good argument for a proxy. Quote:

    reload-into-ims changes client no-cache or ``reload'' to
    If-Modified-Since requests. Doing this VIOLATES the HTTP
    standard. Enabling this feature could make you liable for
    problems, which it causes.

It doesn't for me.

Running your own cacheing BIND saves a surprising amount of time too. Just 
keep that large, bug-prone piece of software up to date, and tell it to only 
allow queries from the LAN. Likewise, only open Squid on an internal 
interface.
