To simplify the setup, you should use multicast parents, you can achive that by configure the cache_peers with this line. cache_peer 230.0.0.4 multicast 3128 3130 remember to create a route for multicast, since in linux it's not created by default. Also, you've probably better with separate disks instead a large RAID0, since you can increase performance, and avoid the cost of the stripping, Hope this helps.
