squid - The Squid proxy caching server. Full Name: squid-2.3.STABLE1-5.alpha.rpm Source RPM: squid-2.3.STABLE1-5.src.rpm Version: 2.3.STABLE1 Release 5 Group: System Environment/Daemons License: GPL Vendor: Red Hat, Inc. Size: 2486 KB Description Squid is a high-performance proxy caching server for Web clients, supporting FTP, gopher, and HTTP data objects. Unlike traditional caching software, Squid handles all requests in a single, non-blocking, I/O-driven process. Squid keeps meta data and especially hot objects cached in RAM, caches DNS lookups, supports non-blocking DNS lookups, and implements negative caching of failed requests. Squid consists of a main server program squid, a Domain Name System lookup program (dnsserver), a program for retrieving FTP data (ftpget), and some management and client tools. Install squid if you need a proxy caching server.
