[buug] squid over commercial proxy server

[Brian Sobolak]

I'm not sure how much weight this carries, but having the source means you
can fix problems yourself, if you have the skills.

I know that my firm has very, very stringent security requirements.  We
use squid.  I'm sure other examples abound of commercial companies using
squid over closed-source solutions.
