Unifying Proxy Servers (link)
The aim of the project is to remove simultaneously running proxy servers and merge them into one. The reasons for doing so is to optimize processor utilizations for the individual servers. Although SQUID Proxy Server is not known to be CPU Intensive, but with over 800 internel clients and 2 Internet service providers, even SQUID has started to show its bad side.
