I have had two realizations. One is that we really only restrict access to a few machines with SquidGuard and that SquidGuard seems to slow down squid more than I like.
I believe it has to do with the number of Redirectors I need to keep running. I have upped it to about 15 on the threory that I want to get up to at least one Redirector never being used, so I know I never ran out. At the same time I really like to use the blacklists from squidGuard users. How much work is it to just read those domain, url, and regexp lists into squid directly without setting up the databases. (95% of what I'm blocking is domains anyhow.) I know squidGuard seems to do some formatting that is different but it doesn't seem "that" different from what squid can handle directly. Could I just have squid suck in the domain, url, and regexp files that squidGuard uses to create BerkeleyDB databases. -- Josh Kuperman [EMAIL PROTECTED]
