Where exactly do you put those transparent http proxy servers in
your network?

There is two thing that The Last Mile Cache does _not_ do;

Steal either the DNS nor the port 80 part.

(I have to give it to you that it is a DNS solution part involved in
TLMC as well as a reverse proxy server).

It's an solution which does not force either the CSP (Content Service
Provider) nor the ISP to participate in TLMC. It will tough, allow a
customer of an ISP (which has to participate in TLMC in the first
place) to have it's own cache server at their home. (And yes, the CSP
needs to participate as well for it to work).

If you want your content cached at various ISP:s around the world,
encrypt the content, not the session.
