Hi all,
1st of all, i'm sorry before, for posting my current squid condition,
from how i install to current squid config. Currently i'm having a
problem with my squid, related to cache. I hope all of my friend here
could help me. And i hope this thread useful to anyone having trouble
like mine :-)
ok here we go guys, this is my config:
SNIP
tcp_outgoing_address 10.5.9.106 typeofclient1
tcp_outgoing_address 10.5.9.107 typeofclient2
What does the acl typeofclient1 look like?
----end config snippet--------------------------------------
SNIP
Lots of good info, but what OS? What kernel?
root@proxy malloc# vi Makefile
uncomment -> #CPPFLAGS = -DUSG
root@proxy malloc# make
root@proxy malloc# cp libmalloc.a /usr/lib/libgnumalloc.a
root@proxy malloc# cp malloc.h /usr/include/gnumalloc.h
Why do you do this?
root@proxy malloc# vi /etc/security/limits.conf
* Soft nofile 8192
* Hard nofile 8192
root@proxy malloc# vi /etc/sysctl.conf
net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 1024 32768
root@proxy malloc# cd ../squid_2.5.STABLE14
------the question -------------
my question is :
1. i wanna cache big files, example from antivirus update, but when i
check the log, file like u7avi1363a.bin (6MB size) is always missing
i even desperately try --------> no_cache allow all
This might be effected by the headers returned with the object. Using
"no_cache allow all" is not recommended with the default
refresh_pattern, due to the likelihood of caching dynamically generated
content.
2. i don't know, maybe only my feeling, but why is when the memory is
runout, i get slow responses from squid. I check it like this
free -m
root@proxy:~# free -m
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 2978 2891 87 0 91 2565
-/+ buffers/cache: 234 2744
Swap: 368 0 368
i read hendrik's reply in older thread before, he said that look at
buffers/cache not the Mem , but why the responses is different after i
reboot my squid, which will give me free in Mem:
with this kind of behavior, my squid uptime is always less than 12 hours :((
Perhaps it's related to the malloc libraries you are using... The only
information I could find about libgnumalloc indicates that it's pretty
outdated, which indicates that the underlying OS is... Aging.
3. currently i'm running about 15 tcp_outgoing_address so every client
come out from squid with their ip alias address, so that i can limit
their bandwidth. is it okay to run so many ip alias in linux, and
running many tcp_outgoing_address in squid?
I don't know of any reason not to. But for limiting bandwidth,
delay_pools might be a better choice.
4. any suggestion for my config? i mean to speed up responses when
opening a web and to deliver it to clients
Update your Squid version, and perhaps your OS.
thanks for reading my question, and many thanks for the upcoming answers ;-)
