I may have a look at Squid and mod_proxy (and Jigsaw to boot) at some
point.  I'm not as worried about speed as I am about choking on requests
that can't be handled.  I'm not trying to do the processing in real time;
that is, the results of the processing don't have to be available to the
client in real time.

Thanks for the feedback,
