Excellent news.

First point -- you'll definitely want to set disableLocalInterface.
Since you're running with no on-disk cache, you will also want to
increase the memory cache. No hard guidelines -- it depends on the
machine's memory -- (The default in Polipo 1.0.3 is 24 MB or 1/4 the
machine's memory, whichever is less. 1.0.2 and earlier use 8 MB).
> serverSlots=4
> serverMaxSlots=8
I think that more experience is needed with finding the right value
for serverSlots. I'm running polipo with serverSlots set to 2,
4 might be overkill.
On a related note, you'll also want to decrease maxConnectionAge and
maxConnectionRequests. I suggest 5 minutes and 120 connections, respec-
tively. Plese see

Yep. This is a reasonable compromise -- doesn't leak too much memory
while not breaking most sites.

Don't censor Warning -- it allows the server to send information to
the user, not the other way around.
Any suggestion for additional censorings?
