RE: which version shall i use?

I think I'd highly recommend 1.2beta23 with the 4-patch-set installed. I
*don't* run a high-volume cache here (it's for a 100+ users on our division
net), so can't speak for that. But, it has so far worked *very* well, and I
wouldn't go back to 1.1.x.

My $0.02.

I think i'm in a condition that's basically to yours. What specific
version are you using now? What features have you enabled? And can you
post a list of cites that won't work well with transparent proxy? That
might make its to FAQ i think...
