[squid-users] Optimized Squid 2.5 Stable 8 for RedHat

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Greetings!

I am running Squid 2.5 Stable 8 for RedHat Advanced Server 3

I am trying to optimize the speed / availability of the Proxy.  

I have just recently increased the number of Squid threads to 64 since clients were seeing error pages (which appears to be a limit as to the number connections available).

I have 3 of these boxes.  2 are used as traffic cops (with SmartFilter), and then the third is in the DMZ with connectivity to the Internet (this is the caching machine with no SmartFilter).

I would be interested in any recommendations:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 3 (Taroon Update 3)
KERNEL: Linux 2.4.21-20.ELsmp #1 SMP Wed Aug 18 20:46:40 EDT 2004 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

I have around 15,000+ clients.

My proxy machines are outfitted as such:

Dell DL380 [3082484 kB Memory, (2) 2.8GHZ Pentium 4 CPU, (3)  36GB 15K Disks for Squid Cache (320 MB/s tranfer rate) OS is on its own 36GB disk]

Squid compiled with the following options:
ulimit -HSn 8192
CFLAGS -O2 -march=i686 -funroll-loops -DNUMTHREADS=64 -DSMARTFILTER -DUNIX -D_REENTRANT -D_REENTRANT
CPPFLAGS -O2 -march=i686 -funroll-loops
./configure  --prefix=/opt/squid --enable-smartfilter --localstatedir=/var --enable-poll --enable-snmp --enable-removal-policies=heap,lru --enable-storeio=aufs,coss,diskd,null,ufs --enable-async-io --with-aufs-threads=48 --enable-delay-pools --enable-linux-netfilter --with-pthreads --enable-basic-auth-helpers=LDAP,NCSA,SMB,MSNT,winbind --enable-ntlm-auth-helpers=SMB,winbind,fakeauth --enable-external-acl-helpers=ip_user,ldap_group,unix_group,wbinfo_group,winbind_group --enable-auth=basic,ntlm --enable-useragent-log --enable-referer-log --enable-gnuregex
