It seems so, but although I think there is no problem with it, you should NOT use "all" acl to specify your clients. use "mynetwork" or so and define acl back as "src 0.0.0.0/0" Are you asking us if you can tune it a bit more? Yes, you can. You can use much more space - for 64 GB of disk space try: cache_dir aufs /usr/squidcache 50000 64 256 you can increase maximum object size: maximum_object_size 32 MB and use heap LFUDA replacement policy: cache_replacement_policy heap LFUDA I hope you configured squid with heap removal policies and async IO allowed > /etc/system: > ------------------ > set msgsys:msginfo_msgmax=2048 > set msgsys:msginfo_msgmnb=8192 > set msgsys:msginfo_msgmni=40 > set msgsys:msginfo_msgssz=64 > set msgsys:msginfo_msgtql=2048 > > set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=2097152 > set shmsys:shminfo_shmmni=32 > set shmsys:shminfo_shmseg=16 You don't need to tune these unless you use diskd. But on solaris, aufs should be even faster. -- Matus UHLAR - fantomas, uhlar@xxxxxxxxxxx ; http://www.fantomas.sk/ Warning: I wish NOT to receive e-mail advertising to this address.
