-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2012-20537 2012-12-18 01:54:09 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : squid Product : Fedora 16 Version : 3.2.5 Release : 1.fc16 URL : http://www.squid-cache.org Summary : The Squid proxy caching server Description : Squid is a high-performance proxy caching server for Web clients, supporting FTP, gopher, and HTTP data objects. Unlike traditional caching software, Squid handles all requests in a single, non-blocking, I/O-driven process. Squid keeps meta data and especially hot objects cached in RAM, caches DNS lookups, supports non-blocking DNS lookups, and implements negative caching of failed requests.
Squid consists of a main server program squid, a Domain Name System lookup program (dnsserver), a program for retrieving FTP data (ftpget), and some management and client tools.
