[K12OSN] PROXY, CACHES, and secure sites???

[David Trask]

Maybe you can help educate me.  I'm using an SME server as my gateway and
it also is my proxy server (Squid) using DansGuardian and doing
transparent proxying.  Some folks I talked to recently felt that using a
proxy server was a security risk as it caches secure sites that can then
be opened by anyone.  I've never heard of this happening...is it true and
if so...preventable?  Am I (or actually they) worried about nothing?  Any
info welcome.
