Hi folks, I'm going to implement squid on a SUN E450 with Solaris 9. The machine has 4 x 450MHz processors and 4GB RAM. The expected load will be around 300 req/s at peak and will probably increase over time. So the question is how to tune E450/Solaris/squid to achive maximum performance. Obvious things like different disks on different controllers for different cache_dirs are clear. As squid can't take advantage of multiple processors I'm thinking of running several instances of squid bound to different processor to share the load. Is there anybody out there running a similar setup who could give comments or recommendations?
Thanks, Frank
