Squid is damn cool to be honest. :-)

I've got proxy peering working at VPAC between ourselves and two other 
GrangeNet connected institutions, anything that they have in their cache that 
one of our users requests comes from them instead of the real site. This is 
free as GrangeNet doesn't charge for intra-Grangenet traffic (it's covered in 
the annual subscription).

Setting up proxy peering on Melbourne Wireless shouldn't be any different, 
especially if you use cache digests rather than ICP to distribute what each 
cache has every hour rather than querying every time a request is made.

cheers,
Chris
