Running Squid on your region server as a reverse proxy to the asset server
1. Download and install the Squid Proxy from: http://www.squid-cache.org/Download/
2. Create your squid.conf configuration file.
3. Change your asset_server configuration in your OpenSim.ini to point to http://localhost:3128/
4. Start everything up!
Now assets will be cached in the squid cache on the region server, and will be served up much faster, especially on region restart.
