I'm helping test and evaluate it for a similar setup.

Makes sense.

On three different machines at the moment.  I hope to remedy some of 
that next week.  Optimally I think we would like to have ziproxy and 
squid running on the same machine.  I've been testing it on a Linux 9 
box but it will probably have to run on a BSD machine (if I can get it 
to compile).  I don't see why they all couldn't be on the same machine 
though.

I don't know what's up with that but I'll reply to your email address 
too.  I only see your posts to this list.  If there are others ... well?
