Hi, 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 so they make requests to the squid box but if squid doesn't have the object in cache, clients go to my origin server,which is running tomcat. 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. I would expect that once the object is received from the origin server it gets cached, but I am seeing that 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 requests going to the origin server, but I ve got to stop each and every one of the requests from continuing to pour into the origin server. How do i get squid to do that?? -any help / pointers / directions to a cliff or bridge appreciated. -RAy __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
