Here's my settings: cache_mem 1 GB cache_dir diskd /var/spool/squid/1 2000 128 256 cache_dir diskd /var/spool/squid/2 2000 128 256 Each cache dir is a partition on a SCSI drive (each on separate drives). The partitions are 60 gig. The system also has 3 gig of RAM. It also seems as though the network traffic decreases greatly whenever objects are written to disk cache.
