Hi Pablo
Thanks for the suggestion.
URLHASH would be a good idea for better hit ratio.
Someone told that, in some L7 switchs, some "abnormal" port 80 packets would be dropped (since it acts like a firewall) while the packets would be forwarded in L4 switchs.
However, the behavior of L7 switch causes some normal sites could be browsed.
Do you have similar experience?
