: caching software, Squid handles all requests in a single,

: hot objects cached in RAM, caches DNS lookups, supports non-blocking
: DNS lookups, and implements negative caching of failed requests.

: lookup program (dnsserver), a program for retrieving FTP data
: (ftpget), and some management and client tools.
