I already did that. Meanwhile I am completly confused. Not looking
through anymore.

let's say I have two squids running:
1. squid on http-server
2. squid on the firewall/gateway

First try:
In Opera in the cache/proxy-settings I define the 1. squid and
http to the firewall where the 2. squid is answering. Then I am accelerated
to another machine I defined as accelerated-host. Fine!
-But what is the entry in Opera then for?

Second try:
Then in Opera in the cache/proxy-settings I define the 2. squid
on the firewall and get an Access denied. No accereration anymore.
I don't know why this is happening.

Maybe I have not understand the concept yet. So you say to provide
a proxy to customers, its best to run a squid on the firewall as
accelerator and one provided to customers on another host?

But which one is the caching proxy? Both? Do I need the one on the
gateway only as accelerator? (Of course that would be enough when I
read about performance-issues)

Completly clueless... ;)
