I suggest trying a non-caching squid 2.6s17 built slim and with lots of FD available on short timeouts, running on a very fast CPU as the parent. Below that the child squid. If you have multi-core CPU(s), one squid instance per CPU, with one CPU/machine left for OS, and lots of RAM to supply them all. Amos
