I've made arrangements with the European Graduate School, http://www.egs.edu/ for them to host a squid proxy box for European visitors. I assume we're not 100% ready to move to that solution, but we're close, right?

Eventually we want to do some fancy DNS magic, but we don't need to wait for that to get this off the ground. We can just point de.wikipedia.org and/or fr.wikipedia.org and/or es.wikipedia.org, etc. at the European machine, and that will help those groups immediately and transparently, am I right?

I don't have an exact date for when they will be ready, but we will have root access to the machine and will administer it ourselves, so we don't have to depend on them (nor do we get to depend on them, except for hardware failures I guess).
