We run three caching servers here with a Foundry switch. They get fed information via Cidera sattelite and also via Akomi boxes as well... works great! :) We used to have a Cacheflow system in place which wasn't nearly as effecient as the Squid system.

Can it be done or do I have to buy the $50,000 Cisco product? Also it be seamless to my customers (no setting proxy settings or anything like that). Any ideas?
