I currently use apt-cacher. Apart from having to have one for Debian
and another for Ubuntu I haven't really had any issues with it. I'm
also just mirroring CentOS base for that side of things.

So no, sorry, I haven't got any new ideas to contribute I'm afraid
but I am interested in how you get on with squid.

Cheers,
Andy
