They've moved over to the NetApp caching system and deployed them across
Australia. Aparantly they used squid 1.1.21 on their old proxies... I sent
them complaints about it previously and how they should upgrade, but to no
avail. Then, they asked me if I could point our proxy to a new cache called
NetApp - I did, it was faster. But the only reason (obviously) is because
it wasn't under load and they didn't upgrade their Sun servers and squid
enough.

Anyway, I guess they like the NetApp caching system *shrug*. It seems
they've been marketed a better product somehow.
