Can you get the same advantages with apache/mod_proxy as you would with squid 
or is squid just your preferred frontend?  Apache gives me lots of other 
things and I'll no doubt run at least a few non-zope sites.

Yup, I'll look into that.  The platform will be the latest stable version of 
Debian Linux (Linux kernel 2.4) on intel hardware.  I'm 99% sure that the 2.4 
kernel is fine with large files but I will definitely be keeping it in mind.
