This acutally will increase the memory usage of Squid womewhat, as fewer large objects will be cached allowing for more objects in total to be cached... > Assuming 2.4.*, ipchains probably isn't your best option (and IIRC, > there have been memory leaks in this department before - anyone > confirm this?). Yes. Linux-2.4.0 to 2.4.18 (I think) had very serious memory leaks in the ipchains REDIRECT target.. For linux-2.4 iptables should be used unless one has a very strong reason why to continue using ipchains. The ipchains emulation of Linux-2.4 is barely maintained (as can be seen above..) while iptables is actively maintained and constantly improved with each Linux-2.4 release. Regards Henrik
