Thanks - got that covered to some extent. So far I was looking at these
two lists for a simple domain blocking system to catch "adverts and
tracking"

Any other suggestions/comments?

Additionally we will offer the option to do image recompression and
upstream gzip of content (actually probably we will use our own
compressing tunnel across the slow link)

Anyone know of any already written ecap/icap servers I might want to
investigate?

Cheers
