Hi, can someone explain me how SQUID handles intercache communication especially how does it forward HTTP request to parent proxy. SQUID is not using any caching protocol. cache_peer configuration: cache_peer A.B.C.D parent 8080 0 no-query no-digest no-netdb-exchange round-robin proxy-only

The cpu doesn't do any IO, it's WAITING for the disk most of the time. If you want fast squid performance, CPU speed/count is irrelevant; get more disks and ram. When I mean more disk, I mean more spindles. eg: 2x 100GB will is better than a 200GB disk. mike At 01:51 PM 7/5/2008, Michel
