Since you guys/gals are on the Squid subject, I would like to get some squid-user opinions if possible without having to join the squid list and get flame-broiled.
Currently I'm behind a dialup. Gentoo server acts as the (Shorewall) firewall and gateway for 3 win98 pc's. I just installed "djbdns" using its dnscaching service (2MB cache seems more than sufficient) and it makes quit a big difference once the frequented dns lookups are cached. (Thanks to all who helped BTW) :D (BTW... Mike W did you get my Cyber Sorry?) Heh.. Heh.. Trying to make the dialup lan as efficient as possible I was thinking of installing Squid as well for its caching capabilities. Knowing that Mozilla (on Gentoo) and Win98 IE on Windows do their own caching would I see a considerable difference if it were configured as/for a Transparent proxy and caching capabilities? (unsure of the exact extent of what type of caching Squid does) If I were to install it, how much memory does it need at a minimum considering all other browsers are caching some content? Once the cache fills does it start pushing old stuff out to make way for the new? 384MB of PC-133 SDRAM, a 20-gig ATA-66 ide drive using upto 500megs of swap if needed.
