[olug] Squid setup

[Chris Garrity]

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.
