Hi,
I am running a cluster of squid 2.5 servers to accelerate many domains
and everything is working very well.
I am currently going direct to the origin servers on cache misses.
Will there be performance gains if I add the other squid servers as
cache peers or will the endusers perceive latency while the squid checks
its peers versus going direct.
Thanks,
Jerry
I have read that you can have up to 8 Squid servers talking via ICP on a
100Base-T network before you start to see performance degridation. I
have three physical servers, and MRTG states that my near miss service
time (which should be peer-hits, if I'm not mistaken) take around 1ms
when it's busy. It seems to take longer (up to 25ms, 6ms average)
during off peak times. Not likely noticable.
