Hi guys,
We want to replace our current proxy solution (crappy commercial
product which is way too expensive) and thought about Squid, which is
a great product.I already found a couple of example configurations,
basically for reverse proxying. What we are looking for is a caching
and authentication (LDAP and NTLM) only solution with content
filtering via ICAP. We have following configuration in mind (firewalls
omitted):
Clients
|
|
v
Loadbalancer
|
|
v
Squid-Proxies <----> ICAP-Server
|
|
v
INTERNET
We are expecting approx. 4500 requests per second average (top 6000
RPS) and 150Mbit/s, so I suppose we need a couple of Squids. The
preferable solution would be big servers with a lot of memory and
Squid 3.0 on a 64Bit RHEL5.
Does anybody know any similar scenarios? Any suggestions? What are
your experiences?
The ICAP Servers are commercial ones (at least at the beginning), but
I have following problem. I want to use multiple ICAP Servers in each
Squid configuration with loadbalancing, unfortunately it is not
supported and does not work in Squid 3.
best regards
