Daisy chaining proxies? and quick proxy tester?

Hi, two questions for one post today.

#1 I am using (and loving) proxomitron but need to use some remote
transparent proxies (to get around the Thai censoring) as well. It
seems to me that I have heard that it is possible to daisy chain
proxies but I am not sure how to.

#2 I have to use transparent proxies to get around the Thai censoring
here and was wondering if there was a app (preferably freeware) that
easily allowed one to check and see if a proxy was good and check its
speed, or even better if there was a program that got up-to-date lists
of proxies (xml feeds?) and gave a breakdown of which ones were working
and their speed (not sure if there are such lists)

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Sure it is possible, the directive is called "cache_peer" for
squid, of course you need at least control the proxies you are
going to use on the way to the proxy actually fetching whatever
documents for you.

Good luck
