Yes, you'll notice things are a bit quicker, especially if your proxy
has a massive cache that isn't expiring off the graphics from every

bind9 for dns, squid for webcache, leafnode for news should be suitable
for most users. If the machine the modem's on is a dedicated box, feel
free to really crank up the cache on squid and feel the speed gain on
