OK. Thanks Amos. Changing up the icp_port to a unique for each instance worked. I should have thought about that as all instances were on the same host (localhost/127.0.0.1) w/ the same port... duhh. So, I have a few other questions then: We're going to scale this up to a single-machine single-instance of 64 linux and 64 squid 3.0 -- - What OS would you personally recommend running Squid 3.x on for best performance?
This space intentionally left blank.
- Is there no limit to the cache_mem we can use in squid 3? I'd be working with about 64GB of memory in this machine.
Of course there's a limit. You just aren't likely to hit it with the hardware you are using. Of course, as of Q3 2007 here's the official answer: http://www.squid-cache.org/mail-archive/squid-users/200709/0559.html
- Can you elaborate on "heap replacement/garbage policy"??
http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/config/cache_replacement_policy/ and http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/config/memory_replacement_policy/ (The second link references the first, but would be the more relevant directive if you are going to be using a memory-only Squid).
- Any other options to watch for, for optimizing memory cache usage?
