Hi list, I'm looking at building a couple more 3.1.8 servers on RHEL 5.5 x86. The servers are nicely high-powered have multiple Gb NICs (4 in total). My previous proxy server (bluecoat) had two NICs. I understand that one was used to listen to requests and send to our upstream accelerator and one was used if the equivalent 'send direct' was used i.e bypass the accelerator. Can the list make any thoughts or recommendations about the best way to utilise the NICs for best performance? Can I achieve the same outbound as above? Should I even bother trying to do this? User base would be about 700 users; I'm not caching. Simple ACLs but with two authentication helpers (depending on browser).
