[squid-users] Squid As A Non-Caching Reverse Proxy/Web Accelerator?

Hi,
*
I am thinking of solutions for minimizing apache's
memory use on a small memory server in the presence of
several slow clients or long-running http requests
(large downloads)*and with about 50% of the requested
pages being dynamic.
*
I need a reverse proxy server that can buffer output
from apache so that I won't need many active apache
processes to be able to serve slow clients, and I'm
considering squid with caching disabled.
*
I'd like to know how squid, in reverse proxy
mode,*handles a situation where the origin server is
very fast but the client it's serving is slow.* Does
it buffer the server's response and allow it to close
the connection quickly and serve other processes?* Is
there an architecture document somewhere that _fully_
answers my question?
*
Regards,
Seun Osewa
