[aklug] Re: ACS Google Gateway

So I've been wanting to offer caching solutions to the major ISPs around
here lately for obvious reasons and I'm happy they are here.. no buts.

I think it's great that ACS is onboard with something google can use to
provide us better service. I'd love to know that at the core of it theres
a super futuristic compressed SCTP based SPDY aware load balancer
connecting the dots for me to access googles service and helping reroute
the dots in case of problems in the googleverse.

If they can cache queries that would be amazing.. since they are mostly
tailored. If they are being cached that means there are descriptive
orientations for taylored content (I'd love to know if I'm described as
'that man beast that searches for linux stuff a lot').

Biggest concern I have is that I've done far too much SSL MITM work. I use
evil, stupid, insecure techniques with production stuffs in order to allow
better quality on the backend by reducing security a smidge.. like using
SSL load balancers that forward to non-SSL ports on application servers..
such is life.

If there's any path for ISP employees to plug in a network cable and fiddle
a monitor port to see unencrypted googledatas then please let me know.
