I work with a group that seems to believe the slow and cumbersome and
inefficient way is the ideal way. We won't mention how pithy I get when
I have to go through and do an inventory of these machines because we
haven't upgraded to something more secure than Win 98 workstations.

Not likely to happen, but I'm going to try again. He seems to think
that it's one more thing that could go wrong. But, if I let him do the
maintaining of the proxy, I could make him see the error of his ways.
Especially considering we have temps coming in and out all the time who
have various access needs. It's definitely nice to see though that I'm
not the only one who is thinking that way.

You just rule, Henrik. This certainly is much appreciated. I wasn't
completely sure how everything would work, as I haven't completely
finished going through the documentation I have seen for Squid, in
addition to the 21.3 million other things that I've got going wrong this
week as well.
Thanks again Henrik, it truly is much appreciated.
Regards,
Scott
