Hello, I'm running squid 2.6 and need to run several redirectors, one for banner filtering, another for av, and a possible third for chat blocking if there is one? I read about a shell script: #!/bin/sh /path/to/redirector1 | /path/to/redirector2
This is bad way.Using pipe is expensive at most time.You can do all the things in a perl script.If you have problems on perl programming,many guys can help you (including me).
For the setting of url_rewrite_children suggested value is 5, multiple redirectors wouldn't i have to take that up to say 15 or so?
Some of our squid hosts are also running redirector,they run 64 childs or more,didn't see bad things happened.So I think this number is based on the request queue on squid,if this queue is too large,you can see the warnings info in cache.log and you need to improve the redirector childs number. Good luck.
