-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Dear All, I wanted to ask for your opinions regarding cache-peer parent and siblings and their relation to conserve bandwidth. I have a dozen freebsd proxy servers to handle our customers web requests. Now they are just siblings to each other. Now how much bandwidth can I save if I make one of the most powerful proxy server the cache-peer parent of the rest of the servers. Will I be able to save both uplink and downlink bandwidth if I go for this setup? Also I have tried this configuration in the past but due to some constraints, I could not further test my configurations. But if you guys give me some help, tips and suggestions regarding this matter, I would be very grateful. The normal load on each of the proxy servers right now is approx. 40 request/second. I believe that my most powerful proxy server can handle the load of 500 requests/second or even more. Note: All my freebsd servers are running Squid-2.5 with the exception of one which is using Squid-2.6. Adrian, your configurations for /etc/loader.conf and /etc/sysctl.conf are running well in one of my server running Squid-2.6. I will continue to monitor it's status. Thanks once again.. With best regards and good wishes, Yours sincerely, Tek Bahadur Limbu (TAG/TDG Group) Jwl Systems Department Worldlink Communications Pvt. Ltd.
