It depends upon the analyses users might like to run. However, it's
unlikely that much will depend upon DB access as people will likely
run over MC rather than cosmics.
However, the squid is a definite priority, so I would aim to get that
installed in the next week (it only takes a few hours) so that you
have it.

It doesn't matter - there's nothing today which requires SL5 nodes.
However, again we'd like to see the SL5 migration happen soon, so that
SL5 native built kits can start to become the default. We gain 15-20%
CPU with SL5 gcc4.3 code, so your site works better for ATLAS on SL5.
Both things are important, but squid is definitely faster to deploy so
a priori I would deploy that first.
