I'm new to the mailing list. I did some Google and mail archive search but I wasn't able to find much information on Squid running in a 64-bit environment.
Should work, but is not very much tested.
There quire likely will be problems on requests for very large objects > 2GB.
The benefits of 64bits is quite limited for Squid, and the drawbacks of higher memory usage is very noticeable.
I am going to stick with FreeBSD since I've become familiar with it, but has anyone successfully have Squid running on 64-bit in a production environment? How difficult or different is it to setup? Will the current version of Squid compile in 64-bit without any problems?
I did run Squid on 64-bit Alpha machines some several years back, and it performed reasonably well then (with a few patches). But I have not tested any recent versions of Squid in 64-bit environments.
