Hahaha... but they were better than some of the other commercial offerings out there. I have heard good things about the more recent squid code (haven't tried it though) - but who wants to maintain bypass lists just because users want to use dodgy web software :-(

Well, maybe it's just that Cacheflows suck ?

I agree wholeheartedly with Steve comments below, the cost saving is negligible while the required resource to administer was high. I redeployed my cache to a new position in our network: it is working very well as a footrest under my desk.
I found removing the cache actually improved overall performance, my customers - and even managers - noticed the improvement ... some of them even rang to say Thanks (that makes a change!)
