Hi, I installed Squid on OpenBSD 3.5 to use as a Proxy between the Internet and LAN.
I am able to connect to the internet and view webpages from the internet but when I start squid initially the following error shows up. "WARNING cache_mem is larger than total disk cache space!" The total disk cache space on my system is 600Mb. ie. I have a 600 MB Swap partition. How can I rectify this problem? There are at presently 12 LAN users at present and it will grow to 35 soon. They use internet very heavily! How should I configure the cache memory? I mean could you please recommend the Optimum Cache Size? If necessarry I am willing to increase the total disk cache space. ie. I'll repartition Swap. I need speed and Optimum Perfomance. Below is relevant portion of my squid.conf Posted so you can have a look. I configured by reading the pdf provied from the squid website. Well in the way I understood it. Please look into this problem and help me. Thankyou Somuch, warm regards Siju # OPTIONS WHICH AFFECT THE CACHE SIZE cache_mem 300 MB cache_swap_low 90 cache_swap_high 95 maximum_object_size 4096 KB minimum_object_size 0 KB maximum_object_size_in_memory 8 KB memory_replacement_policy lru
