Thanx to all for the links!  I will be going through them over the next
week to get this thing up and running properly.  The machines aren't
great machines (233MHz) but they do have 512MB ECC Ram and Raid 5 on the
HD's (Raid Array card, not software).  
I will have to say that m0ntar3, you are over my head with your basic
computer science stuff.  I felt pretty good about my
background/knowledge until I saw this paragraph.  Where do you work to
need to know this or is that just a hobby to improve your mind?  Anyhow,
thanx again for everyone's pointers!!

Pardon the excitement, but web caching is just about the coolest topic

I've come across in a while. It's one of those things that makes a 
person (me) stop and think. This type of cacheing if probably one of 
thee best things an administrator can do for an organisation's network.

And it's contains so many of the ideas they teach in basic computer 
science; Amdahl's Rule, Principle of Locality, Graph Theory (Flow 
Diagrams), Algorithms (distributed systems; peering what-have-you), 
Protocols ... and all that blah blah ... it's all in there.
