Hi
I want to create a 2-node squid reverse caching layer for an apache
server that has these features:
- 2 Xeon@ 2GHz
- 2 GB RAM
- 72GB HD RAID1
- RHEL with Kernel 2.6.9
- 1 EXT3 filesystem
Traffic is a million visits/month
My question is, how much disk space should i allocate for caching data
on the squid nodes?
my idea is to use amazon Ec2 instances for them, but i dont know how
much disk space should
i use for caching data under this scenario...
Any recomendation will be welcomed!
Greetings
Hi,
How big is the static content on your website ? I would start with a
minimum of that, unless you have gig's and gig's of static content that
might be viewed once or twice a year. I would not go less than 5 gig
tho. It might sound like a little bit, but you will be very surprised
how much you can fit in 5gig, web wise, and how well Squid handles all
of that.
Cheers,
Pieter
