Thanks! But I do have the no_cache deny all directive in my squid.conf However I am looking for the most optimum configuration with minimum overheads for a delay_pool only setup since squid seems to slow down a bit and often has to be restarted. Should I have the directives like ----always_direct allow all--- ----log_icp_query off--- ...? Do I need the httpd_accel directives at all ?
The following is my configuration file. Please suggest ommission, addition required so that squid will perform at its best in a no_cache , delay_pool only mode http_port 172.16.1.1:3128 icp_port 3130 hierarchy_stoplist cgi-bin ? acl QUERY urlpath_regex cgi-bin \? no_cache deny QUERY acl all src 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 no_cache deny all cache_mem 64 MB cache_dir ufs /cache/ 200 16 256 #dns_nameservers x.x.x.x x.x.x.x x.x.x.x x.x.x.x cache_mgr [EMAIL PROTECTED] cachemgr_passwd xxxxxx all cache_effective_user squid cache_effective_group squid maximum_object_size_in_memory 1 KB #not sure if this is ok memory_pools off #so that squid does not hold on to chunk of data for potential future use quick_abort_min 0 KB # not sure if ok quick_abort_max 0 KB #not sure if ok visible_hostname server.x.com ftp_user [EMAIL PROTECTED] ftp_passive on acl manager proto cache_object acl allow_manager_from src 172.16.1.12/255.255.255.255 acl localhost src 127.0.0.1/255.255.255.255 acl to_localhost dst 127.0.0.0/8 acl SSL_ports port 443 563 acl Safe_ports port 80 acl Safe_ports port 21 #ftp acl Safe_ports port 443 562 #https, news acl Safe_ports port 70 #gopher acl Safe_ports port 210 #wais acl Safe-ports port 1025-65535 #unregistered ports acl Safe_ports port 280 #http_mgmt acl Safe_ports port 488 #gss-http acl Safe_ports port 777 #multiling http acl CONNECT method CONNECT no_cache deny all http_access allow manager http_access deny manager all http_access deny !Safe_ports http_access deny CONNECT !SSL_ports acl download url_regex -i ftp .exe .mp3 .mpeg .ram .wav .mpg .tar .bmp .gz .pdf .zip acl localnet url_regex 192.168. 172.16. acl mynet src 172.16.1.7-172.16.1.11 172.16.1.24 172.16.1.30-172.16.1.33 172.16.1.41-172.16.1.45 172.16.8.10-172.16.8.37 acl nine2nineuser src 172.16.1.25 acl nine2nine time 9:02-21:04 http_access allow nine2nineuser nine2nine #http_access allow download http_access allow mynet http_access deny all http_reply_access allow all #icp_access allow download icp_access allow mynet icp_access deny all delay_pools 3 delay_class 1 2 delay_class 2 2 delay_class 3 2 delay_parameters 1 -1/-1 -1/-1 delay_parameters 2 4000/4000 800/800 delay_parameters 3 -1/-1 1600/30000 delay_access 1 allow localnet delay_access 2 allow download delay_access 3 allow mynet httpd_accel_host virtual httpd_accel_port 80 httpd_accel_uses_host_header on httpd_accel_with_proxy on tcp_outgoing_address x.x.x.x ## I am using satellite downlink - ip address of satellite isp here Regards, Jim. --- Elsen Marc <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Hi Everybody! > > > > I just joined this list.
