Bob, What does cachemgr.cgi say? We just got delay pools going on our production server, and so far it is working well. It is currently running on NT, but we will be switching to linux shortly. You must ensure you are running the delay pools binary for NT (squid -v will confirm this, or check for a squid.exe.log file in the sbin folder - it will complain if delay pools are not compiled in). We are also using class 3 delay pools, as we have a class B network to apply it to, but your config looks like it should work. You may want to add an ACL for a specific IP or subnet for testing, then see if the delay works. Believe me - with 200/300, you will know when it's working! We are using 100000/100000 for out student residence networks, and it is doing a great job of keeping our usage under control. We used to see 98% peak usage on our 10Mb line, now they are capped at 80%, and rarely go over 50%. 100KB/s is still reasonable for general browsing, and acceptable for most downloads. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Shawn Wright, I.T.
