Fine with me.

I do not want to stop anybody from implementing extreme stuff. Of
course I welcome solutions that compete with a squid farm that does
both redirecting and accelerating. Please, do not let anybody stop
you. I only read your posting as a wish list and suggested an
alternative that is available today and that seems to work very well.
