Hello, I'm having problems with squid doing ident lookups on a terminal server with 16 thin clients attached to that. Basically everything works fine, but on "rush hour" everything stalls a little. I was first using pidentd which would die under the high load. Now I'm using oidentd, but that forks around 80 times, in order to be able to handle the ident requests. NTop shows that the network traffic maxing out (around 20 MBits max - on 100 MBit Network) So it seems like the server is slowed down by the ident forks. Now my questions: - Are ident lookups not suitable for such a terminal server with so many concurrent internet requests? - Is a better solution if there was a squid child on the terminal server itself and therefore the squid access and ident lookups are done through sockets? Thanks in advance! -- Greetings Alexander Schaber
