Last I heard netflix were using RTMP (not HTTP) to deliver their video
streams and the web portions were setup to cache properly.

Caching netflix has not had much of a peep from anyone in a long time.
So I assume its still the case or if they moved to HTTP the videos are
properly done.


FYI: the issue with Microsoft Updates is Squid lack of Range/206 object
caching, the traffic itself is perfectly cacheable once you get around that.
 YouTube/GoogleVideo is actively hostile against HTTP caching. Flash
based services were cloned off it which sadly gives video caching in
general a needlessly bad reputation.
