I will copy the relevant information about my > squid.conf. what I'd advise you - using LFUDA cache_replacement_policy (memory replacement policy may stay GSDF) - using bigger cache (if your 700 kbps link is loaded with HTTP requests, your users are probably downloading more than 7GB per week) - play with maximum_object_size and another question is, if squid eats a lot of CPU and memory - unless it's badly configured, it should not. -- Matus UHLAR - fantomas, [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; http://www.fantomas.sk/ Warning: I wish NOT to receive e-mail advertising to this address.
