Linux/UNIX with Squid for Web caching. You can transparently redirect all port 80 to the Webcache with a ACL on the router between the AP's and your FW. You could Alteon it too if you have a few buck and set up SLB between a web cache farm. A company called Rebel.com (that went outta business) made one of the best in the business - unfortunately their management was a little to loose with the cache (:D). Anyway that product was based on Squid and it rocks.
DNS - bind on OpenBSD. I wouldn't put the DNS on the same box as the Web cache, just because of performance.... maybe colocate on a Radius box.

Several issues have come up with websites showing strange behavior, and it was the transparent webproxy that was causing the issue. FOr the little benefit it brings, it causes too many additional problems to worry about.

What ver of MT are you using?
I am using transparent proxy feature (squid) on the MikroTik Box. I have never had a call from a client that he can't access a site, im running it for 3-4 month, and it saves me 2 GB of 10GB daily download (approximately). Thats a big help for WISP that are paying expensive bandwidth.

The only ones that I saw were a problem were sites that routinely sent out of order packet streams - sometimes portions of the pages (if they were large enough) wouldn't load. Installing a bypass for the FQDN worked.... or turned off aggressive logging for that site (or even all sites if it doesn't matter to you) fixed it too - what type of issues did you see with it?
