Yes.

Yes.

Yes. I _much_ prefer GET - you can bookmark form queries, for one thing.

Yes. But squid is better, being purpose built, not to mention much more
tunable.
Um, a thought. If you're envisaging putting squid between your server
and the outside world, this is not going to work. Squid is not a web
server in that sense.
