Awesome! This seems like a great app...Squid seems like a bear to setup for proxy handling, yet this is designed much simpler (and efficient!). Does Squid provide much more than Pound (besides caching and now ESI)?
caching is the major difference. Squid also has extensive logging and real-time operational statistics.
When does it make sense to use Squid vs. Pound?
If you need caching.
I imagine Pound would be more appropriate on a faster pipe, where caching isn't as big an issue...
No. In this configuration squid's caching helps reduce load on your backend zope servers, and reduce request latency. It is independant of pipe.
