Hi, I have some lingering questions from last week that are, well, still with me. So I am hoping to hear from anyone with experience running squid in accelerator mode, having the collapsed_forwarding would be great too. As in my previous posts my setup is RHEL-3.1 and Squid-2.5-STABLE9+collapsed_forwarding turned on. I am trying to get squid to work in accelerator mode to provide relief to a backend server. The clients are set up to point to the squid box but when the cache doesn't have the object in cache, clients go to my origin server. This can mean several hundred clients going to the origin server at the same time for the same object. A sad situation for the origin server. Once the object is received by the origin server its not being cached. I've verified that the object is cachable. When several requests arrive at the same time I can live with one or two going to the origin server but I ve got to stop each and every one of the requests to continue poring into the origin server. How do i get squid to do that?? Thanks for any help, -RAy __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
