I've never, ever seen that happen before, oh no. :)

Well, if I get my way then Squid-2 will become more modular over time;
rproxy shouldn't then be that hard to include in-line.

Although there's other things I'd like to actually include in Squid
(which have been done countless times before in the commercial world
but never really contributed back..) including satellite object
multicasting.

If the school server team decides to run Squid then I'm open to have a
chat about what sorts of things can be done to improve the experience,
like rproxy.
