I just looked at the squid (caching proxy server) config file and it does
have tags to do this, You'd setup squid to use your corp's proxy server
for *.mycorp.com and squid would get the rest directly, I'd suggest the
tags to add to the config file would be:
cache_host myproxy.corp.com 80 7 # proxy-port icp-disable
cache_host_domain myproxy.corpy.com mycorp.com
All other requests will be resolved localy. squid is handy because it
should cache pages retrieved from your slow sat link, speeding things up
alot, it's also a snap to setup under debian ;>
