Re: [WISPA] Any thoughts on a decent cache server

2008-07-11 Thread Travis Johnson
Hi, Are you somehow redirecting traffic to the MT box, or having all the traffic go through the box? Cache hit rates are going to depend on the size of the network... a 250GB drive would only cache about 4 hours of http traffic on my network... hit rates would be less than 5% I would guess.

Hi, Back when we tried the cache server thing (5 years ago), it turned into more work than it was worth. We were getting 2-3 calls per day from people that certain web pages were broken and not loading correctly, etc. The real kicker was when UPS shut down our cache server's IP address

Tom, You can find all kinds of information if you do searches on squid. It's a very popular caching system that runs on *nix. The amount of RAM is directly related to the size of the disk cache. When we had servers 5 years ago (two of them in parallel) they were the fastest processors you

Hi, With temps now hitting 95F in the late afternoon, we are seeing several RB333 boards shut down and/or reboot. Once it cools down they go back to running fine. We have seen 5 boards out of 50 we have installed fail. They are all in DCE cases. Just wanted to share with everyone in case they

BIG problem with any business that operates like that. In this instance, the cleint is now stuck with Frontbridge for 2 1/2 years, and their attitude when asked about a refund was "tough, you agreed to a 3 year term, and we have your money." John Thomas Travis Johnson wrote:
