Most use a single Squid for the purpose. > How many concurrent users this machine can handle? Is > it O K. for 60 concurrent users (that is 20 % of 300 > total users)? How man users depends on the type of users and their frequency of internet use, but a properly configured Squid can handle a couple of thousand concurrent users (tenths of thousands of office users) with a machine not too different from yours (just a couple of more harddrives and maybe a little more memory), so I would say you are very fine for the number of users you have, probably way overkill even. -- Donations welcome if you consider my Free Squid support helpful. https://www.paypal.com/xclick/business=hno%40squid-cache.org If you need commercial Squid support or cost effective Squid or firewall appliances please refer to MARA Systems AB, Sweden http://www.marasystems.com/, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
