[Zope3-Users] Squid/Apache Caching

[Andrew Sawyers]

If you have needs for Apache, use Apache - but there is no need for it
just for rewriting urls.  There are plenty of ways to rewrite in Squid -
and you can always write your own.  See
http://www.squid-cache.org/related-software.html for a list of
redirectors that are available out there.  

Having used Squid heavily over the years, there is no need for added
complexity of adding Apache in the mix unless there is something
specifically you need from it.  

>From your description, Apache is YAGNI.
