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.

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