Welp, i would recommend NAT instead of Proxy, because it's so much
easier to set up on the client-side (and from my limited experience
with proxy servers, on the server-side as well). However, none of
the NAT products i know of support caching:

SyGate (www.sygate.com) under NT
IP Masquerading (ipmasq.cjb.net) under Linux

So then, maybe you could get a separate program to do caching.
There's Squid Cache (squid.nlanr.net) for Linux (or really, any Unix)

But i guess WinProxy (www.lanprojekt.cz/winproxy/) and WinGate
(www.wingate.com) are integrated cache/proxy servers, so you don't
have much of a choice there.

Er, anybody know of a proxy-cache (that *just* caches web pages) for NT?
