[squid-users] RE [squid-users] Update Accelerator, Squid and Windows Update Caching

Why the hell do u want to cache windowsupdate?
Just install a WSUS (
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/wsus/default.aspx ) in one windows
machine in your LAN and it will download windowsupdate and send it to
your local machines.

I hope you like my suggestion.

Thanks Amos,

Okay. Well I'm planning on testing with Vista updates so I'll try and
report my findings here.
