Hi, I am about to take ownership of a new 2CPU, 4 core server with 32GB of RAM - I intend to add the server to my squid reverse proxy farm. My site is approximately 300GB including archives and I think 32GB of memory alone will suffice as cache for small, hot objects without necessitating any additional disk cache. Are there any potential bottlenecks if I set the disk cache to something like 500MB and cache_mem to something like 22GB. I'm using Centos 5's Squid 2.6. I have a full set of monitoring scripts as per http://www.squid-cache.org/~wessels/squid-rrd/ (thanks again) and of course I will be able to benchmark this myself once I have the box - but any tips in advance would be appreciated.
Should run sweet. Just make sure its a 64-bit OS and Squid build or all that RAM goes to waste.
