Hi, I am looking to setup a "backup" server in a separate DC from our main cluster which should take the load of our site in the event of a catastrophic failure of our active cluster. This machine is therefore less powerful than the combined active cluster and therefore not able to handle the full dynamic load which is a coldfusion/php site with a MySQL backed. What I want to do is configure squid as a reverse proxy, and *force* it to cache everything that gets sent out. The backup machine will have 6GB RAM and 4 SCSI drives in RAID 10 so I trust that squid can be configured to take full advantage of this, but I just don't know how. Mainly my question is there a way of telling squid to ignore any cache-control headers and cache all content for 1 hour, with the most common content cached in RAM and the rest cached on disk? Secondly, does anyone have any configuration advice for a setup such as this? With many thanks, Alex Davies
