I just am unsure at how (what) to put that into the squid.conf


The issue is that the tunnel is working when I setup it up over the  
intranet
but when I try the system remotely I get time outs .I believe the  
problem is that the web browser floods the tunnel with several request  
and because of latency in processing the request
I saw mentioned somewhere that if you setup a proxy locally then have  
is cascade through the tunnel that it should fix the errors but they  
didn't say how to actually do it and I can't see anything any where on  
how to setup a "cascading proxy" that's what i have been looking for

again thanx for any ideas or info it is very muchly appreciated

Regards Mary
