Squid is the most popular Web caching software in use today, and it works on a variety of platforms including Linux, FreeBSD, and Windows. Squid improves network performance by reducing the amount of bandwidth used when surfing the Web. It makes web pages load faster and can even reduce the load on your web server. By caching and reusing popular web content, Squid allows you to get by with smaller network connections. It also protects the host on your internal network by acting as a firewall and proxying your internal web traffic. You can use Squid to collect statistics about the traffic on your network, prevent users from visiting inappropriate web sites at work or school, ensure that only authorized users can surf the Internet, and enhance your privacy by filtering sensitive information from web requests. Companies, schools, libraries, and organizations that use web-caching proxies can look forward to a multitude of benefits. Written by Duane Wessels, the creator of Squid, Squid: The Definitive Guide will help you configure and tune Squid for your particular situation. Newcomers to Squid will learn how to download, compile, and install code. Seasoned users of Squid will be interested in the later chapters, which tackle advanced topics such as high-performance storage options, rewriting requests, HTTP server acceleration, monitoring, debugging, and troubleshooting Squid. Topics covered include:

Compiling and installing Squid
Running Squid
Using Squid's sophisticated access controls
Tuning disk storage for optimal performance
Configuring your operating system for HTTP interception
Forwarding Requests to other web caches
Using redirectors to rewrite user requests
Monitoring Squid with the cache manager and SNMP
Using Squid to accelerate and protect HTTP servers
Managing bandwidth consumption with Delay Pools

About the Author

Duane Wessels became interested in web caching in 1994 as a topic for his master's thesis in telecommunications at the University of Colorado, Boulder. He worked with members of the Harvest research project to develop web caching software. After the departure of other members to industry jobs, he continued the software development under the name Squid. Another significant part of Duane's research with the National Laboratory for Applied Network Research has been the operation of 6 to 8 large caches throughout the U.S. These caches receive requests from hundreds of other caches, all connected in a "global cache mesh."

As a relative newbie working on a SOHO sized install, I was looking for an "intermediate guide" that would help take me to the next level and teach me how to really make my installs scale and stay rock solid. Some chapters (such as disk caching) were very helpful but most assumed a lot of knowledge that I simply don't have. If I can find the intermediate text somewhere and read it, this book would be more useful. It's probably a good find for someone who knows their squid well and is looking o work on a larger scale commercial install. If you think that's you - ignore my 3 stars and give it a try.

then get this one. I learned enough about the reasons for using it and also how to configure it to authenticate against an LDAP server.

Well worth getting and keeping on your shelf.

This book is no longer current and needs to be revised to cover the latest releases of Squid. It provides good background to the origins of Squid and the ways it can be configured and deployed. Unfortunately, there are many new configuration directives that didn't exist in the version of Squid this book covers. You'll have to augment the info in this book with your own research on google or at the product web site.

Maintaining Squid is soooo much easier with this book.
All of the smart features that Squid offers are covered in great detail in this book.

I give this book 5 stars - every beginner AND expert of Squid should have this book. It's an essential part of your 'Squid Toolbox'.

It's easy to read, descriptive, lots of examples and really enables you to use Squid to its full potential.
