Hi Patrick,

great. Just a thing to remember: If you happen to have configured your 
proxy the right way, then there are other issues you have to fight:

You have to define some exclusions to the rule because squid on webcache 
fails to serve requests to tjener (I think) or to its webmin interface 
(port 10000). If this is not possible with wpad, then we could try to 
make squid to allow access to localhost/tjener. At this point, we might 
want to do some more optimizations for squid configuration:
- prepare roomwise access control
- disable caching of pages whose caching is useless (volatile pages, big 
files, ...)
