I've never heard of putting squid _between_ apache and ZServer, but why not put squid on the outside of your system as to not create extra latency? I think squid is much more advanced than mod_proxy in terms of caching options and raw speed. I am currently setting up a ZEO cluster with nodes running ZServer sitting behind a pair of load-balanced squid caches (the ZEO nodes are also balanced by squid's round-robin features). I am also putting ZServer behind mod_proxy for internal use, so I will have the ability at some point to one day comparatively benchmark all of these. If at some point, I do get around to it, I'll post results to the list.

What's the advantage over mod_proxy? Ragnar
I use....
Apache -> Squid -> Zope
...with negligible additional latency at moderate loads.
