I have got one simple question regarding the cache manager value for "Number of clients accessing cache": Which period is measured by this value?
This value is meant to give a reasonable estimate of the number of actual users of the proxy "today".
The period is not fixed or even the same for all users. Instead it varies depending on how active each clients have been and the total load on your proxy server. Clients who have only sent one or very few requests is quickly forgotten, while clients who have sent very many requests may stay in the statistics for up to 24 hours after their last request.
The reason to the above is that this statistics is connected with the cliendb statistics database keeping track of who has been using the proxy. To preserve resources the clientdb is garbage collected forgetting about "uninteresting" clients.
Anyone who can tell for sure?
Too many factors involved to give a "sure" answer. Regards Henrik
