Squid’s reverse proxy is a service that is located between the Internet and the web server (usually within a private network) that redirects inbound client requests to a server where data is stored for easier retrieval. A reverse proxy typically provides an additional layer of control to smooth the flow of inbound network traffic between your clients and the web server.

This is an excellent choice for many types of setups as it provides very granular controls by offering numerous system tools, as well as a monitoring framework using SNMP to provide a solid base for your caching needs.
