Cached and internal pages

[Henrik Nordstrom]

We are thinking of connecting our cache with some other external caches,
but then the question about security arises.

We have a number of internal pages, and access to these pages are done
on IP number. We also redirect all requests trought our cache, since
not all clients support "no proxy" domains.

Is this at all possible with a single proxy server, or do we need one
internal and one external proxy?

Please, PLEASE, a wish for the 1.5:

make proxy_allow and proxy_deny to understand something like this:

proxy_allow *.hut.fi

The list of length 189 (and growing) of these

...
proxy_allow 130.233.83.0
proxy_allow 130.233.86.0
proxy_allow 130.233.87.0
...

is very nasty to maintain and very, VERY, ugly. Yes, that is how many
class C subnets we have.
