Hi, im not sure if this is the way to get an advice about running a dedicated squid server with a large set of ram... The server in question is: 4x Quad Core AMD OpteronT 8350 128GB Memory, 32X4GB, 667MHz 4x 146GB 15K RPM Serial-Attach SCSI 3Gbps 3.5-in HotPlug Hard Drive I need a big fast transparent cache, I was thinking at using Gentoo + Squid 3.1 + TProxy v4, but reading at internet i found almost none talking about squid using so much ram for hot objets (cache_mem), so im asking for help in order to config this server correctly and using the most of ram for caching objects (small and big) and avoiding the most possible the swapping, i have read about squid troubles managing big object cached in ram, so any comments and sugs will be welcome. thanx in advance
