# squid
Squid is a high-performance proxy caching server for Web clients, supporting FTP, gopher, and HTTP data objects.
Unlike traditional caching software, Squid handles all requests in a single, non-blocking, I/O-driven process.
Squid keeps meta data and especially hot objects cached in RAM, caches DNS lookups, supports non-blocking DNS lookups, and implements negative caching of failed requests.
