Tux / apache / squid(?) questions

[lisbon_pt]

Just another question (if I may):

If tux calls apache in the same machine (apache1) and this apache redirect
the request to an apache web server in another machine (apache2), the
answer will be:

1.
apache2 --> apache1 --> tux --> client
(Does TUX cache apache2 answer?)

OR

2. apache2 --> apache1 --> client   (NO TUX and no tux caching)

Regards,
