Does your management have a list of Fortune 500 companies using CERN
proxy? Just curious (might be a good idea to sell their stock short). :)

If a company is using Squid _and_ sends some requests to your Web site,
you can probably detect that. This approach can be a way of compiling
the Squid-500 list you are talking about. You can also try to purchase
this info from caching.com or other market-research companies.
