[squid-users] Squid stops answering requests..

[Marc Schmidt]

hi all,

after writing and starting a little performance test client and running it against squid,
the poor little fish stops doing what he is supposed to do: serving the requests.

the setting is something like this:
the test client is written in java (using jdk1.4.0)
there are 20 threads (each simulating a web client)
each thread requests 50 times the same url
the os is linux suse 7.3
the squid configuration is the one that gets shipped (standard squid.conf)

when using 20 threads with 10 iterations per thread everything is fine.

so, for my five pens this is more or less a configuration issue. isn't it?

anybody out there with a proper squid.conf file that is prepared to startup squid in
a high performance mode? or does anybody know what conf parameters to screw?

help's appreciated

cheers marc
