Dear All,
I am a squid newbie trying to setup a squid server on FreeBSD 4.10.
Hardware specs: PIII 800Mhz 256 MB SDRAM 80 Gb HDD IDE
We have around 70 concurent users and a 2Mb ADSL.
The box is only functioning as a caching server.
I have done some OS tuning following the book "Squid - definitive guide". However, I am still confused on determining the size of cache_dir and cache_mem given the total physical memory that I have and the size of available hard disk.
I will be utlising diskd.
Any suggestion on the optimum size of cache_dir, cache_mem, and Q1 Q2?
Is there any use of installing GNU-malloc?
Users are roughly downloading 20-25GB per month.
Thank you in advance for the advice.
Regards,
Yance
