hody,

just found a new http accelerator, varnish, which criticize squid, e.g.

Why bother with Varnish - why not use Squid?

Varnish was written from the ground up to be a high performance
caching reverse proxy. Squid is a forward proxy that can be configured
as a reverse proxy. Besides - Squid is rather old and designed like
computer programs where supposed to be designed in 1980. Please see
ArchitectNotes for details.

I am not familiar with the internal of squid in fact, anyone has any comments?
