The Vixie Interceptor is really the only product on the market that handles this particualr situation correctly - it is a fine product in that respect. Paul and his group - worked thorugh that issue with very fine detail.
Yet Rich, in the end all our production experience taught that if you error on the side of correctness even with extensive depth, contrary to many an assertion, using client side caching has limitations that exceed many customers expectations for how much bandwidth can be avoided. Particularly those who see it as relatively cheap. The good news for the marketing folk is that Inktomi and Cisco are going to have a much slower uptake on that point. --david
