Squid Monitoring & Management
Squid is a popular open source caching server. It improves response times and reduces bandwidth by caching and reusing frequently-requested web pages. Squid has extensive access controls and makes a great server accelerator. It runs on Unix and Windows and is licensed under the GNU GPL.
