Yes, you're right. I was a bit too much into the squid configuration
for this migration to look elsewhere. The only drawback to this
solution is that we'll have to maintain 2 lists of bots user-agents,
one on the squid servers and the others on the apache servers but we
can probably write a script to generate both conf from a common config
file.

I'll see if the use of mod_setenvif and mod_headers on my apache
servers doesn't imply too much additionnal load on them. I don't want
to modify the application for that sort of things.

Thanks for you feedback.
