Hi guys, I'm wondering if setting up Squid as a reverse proxy in front of our hardware-load-balanced Apache/Tomcat-installations could boost up performance. After I did some reading about Squid, I understood: - Squid is caching requests - I can prevent Squid from caching dynamic content - Squid is SSL-compliant - we would not use Squid as a load-balance - Squid is caching the outgoing data within the file-system And that's the point: Why should it be faster serving a request via Squid that also loads the data from the file-system then serving it via Apache HTTPD, that also reads the data from the file-system? As I said, our application is SSL-based and protected via mod_auth_cookie_mysql / securty-constraint within Tomcat, if that helps to judge on a possible performance-optimization. Looking forward to your comments!
