Dear members

I have a server that basically works to serve ad pages.

I thought it will be a good idea to install Squid so that users surfing www.example.com will first pass through a proxy who caches contents. Then the data transfer should be faster and Apache won't be so busy delivering requests for every body (for example a visitor that downloads files which are in the cache)

However, after I installed Squid, I noticed it's used mainly to provide access to computers connected to yours. I am 100% I don't want my server to work as an open proxy.

Has anybody configured squid to work together with apache in order to deliver web pages more rapidly?

Regards
