No problem.

Do NOT run the caching server on the firewall (i.e.: squid or other) if
you can avoid it. Get an old P75/P90 with a large EIDE disk, and
stick it behind the firewall, and do transparent proxy redirection to it,
and allow it (and only the proxy) out through the firewall.
The less things you run on your firewall, the better you sleep :-)

Hmmm... They all charge per slice of traffic... Maybe try some of the smaller
aggressive providers (though smaller might mean less reliable...)

Avoid 3.0-R -- wait for 3.1 or stick 2.2.8.
