[H-GEN] web proxy parents (uq related)

[Robert Brockway]

Hi all.  Just thought i'd start a thread and ask some opinions.

I used to run zen's squid proxy without parents as I found it actually ran
quicke that way (scary - but realted to bottlenecks on the proxy servers I
would imagine).

Anyway, for various reasons I had to run it using the parents (I had 2
a/c, one was a staff a/c with reserved ip addr).  Well now My staff a/c
has expired, leaving me with only 1 (real) IP.

It used to seem that running without parents was faster, but I have no
hard data to back that up.

I am interested in whether uq people think that it is better to run
with or without parent proxies at uq (optimising for speed not
bandwidth cost).

Hmm..to get the thread started I think I will say something controversial,
yeah that _always_ works.

...Hmm...

...Ahm...

Parmesan cheese doesn't really smell once you get used to it.
Cheers,
	-Robert
