[GLLUG] question/suggestion for adding a proxy/cache.

[Peter Christenson]

 Hi all, I am working on a redesigning my home network, and hoping to drop
some of my bandwidth by adding a cache server.

so what I would like to do is setup a container with squid to cache and
reduce bandwidth. I thought I would ask and see if anyone on the list had
done anything like this and if so what upsides/downsides there will be?

current network configuration


                        (modem) -surfboard
                                |
                           {router} -wrt54gs running tomato 1.27
