[Zope] Major security flaw in Zope 2.3.2

[sean.upton@uniontrib.com]

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.

Sean

I never thought of having Squid between Apache and Zope
but it sounds very interesting. What's the advantage over
mod_proxy?
