[plug] squid.. squid-cache?

[Greg Orange]

Nope, the student network is completely cut off from the rest of the world. I'll 
play with routing in a few months when I get the chance (: (the idea being to 
connect the two networks together)

So I'd have an external device to transport data between the two networks 
para-manually. ie plug/unplug into staff network, plug/unplug into student 
network.

I guess you could say it's not a networking question, it's a squid/caching 
question. As for browser proxies - I've got transproxy running.

Thanks,
Greg.
