Hey, cool, I didn't know this existed yet.

Just for clarity, Squid *behind* Apache or in front of Apache? Where 
'front' is the web itself. Typically I thought Squid is set up in front 
of Apache so that web requests don't even reach Apache if they're cached 
in Squid, but it may be you mean the same thing -- just have front and 
behind reversed. :)

For uploads, I don't think it makes a difference at all, as you 
shouldn't be caching with Squid with uploads anyway.

For downloads, if you have Squid nearest to the web, I don't see how it 
would interfere with Tramline -- to Squid, it's just as if the files are 
coming from Apache just like if you weren't using Tramline.

I can't exclude it completely though, so the best thing would be just to 
try.

If you do place Squid between your Plone and Apache, I have no clue...
