Hard to follow your question...please try to write clearly, and clarify what you're looking for.

Yes, squid can be used as a web cache, and documentation on it is easily available on their web site here http://www.squid-cache.org/ . You just have to set it up to cache what you want.

Basically i want to use it as a web-cache server not a proxy server. i want to host my website behind the squid that way it will server the internet.

Right....read the documentation on the link, and it'll tell you how to do it.

Hi
Is it possible for me to cache pages which is served to 3 different set of users i.e
Users in U.K get the rates served in pounds
Users in USA get it in Dollars
Users in Europe get in in Euro
We use a who is to determine which continent is browsing before serving the page.
Thanks
