Well, I originally designed Polipo for a small number of users.
However, it turns out that I did a pretty good job of making Polipo
scalable:
- all the algorithms user in Polipo are logarithmic in the number of
simultaneously connected clients with one exception (poll is linear);
- there are no in-memory data structures that grow when the on-disk
cache grows.
In other words, Polipo should behave beautifully with large numbers of
clients. As a matter of fact, it has been done (in Brazilian student
halls).
However, two issues. First, the default parameters are not tuned for
this case; you'll probably want to dramatically increase the values of
serverSlots, serverSlots1 and maxServerSlots. Second, there a number of
bugs in Polipo that will make your life miserable.
Good luck, and let us know how it goes.
