Hi, I have done everything which is said by Kinke, the problem has little bit rectified. i.e. it is comparatively good but if clients are using new sites(other than in cache) it is slow. My squid -v is as follows innovation@innovation:~$ squid -v Squid Cache: Version 2.6.STABLE18 configure options: '--prefix=/usr' '--exec_prefix=/usr' '--bindir=/usr/sbin' '--sbindir=/usr/sbin' '--libexecdir=/usr/lib/squid' '--sysconfdir=/etc/squid' '--localstatedir=/var/spool/squid' '--datadir=/usr/share/squid' '--enable-async-io' '--with-pthreads' '--enable-storeio=ufs,aufs,coss,diskd,null' '--enable-linux-netfilter' '--enable-arp-acl' '--enable-epoll' '--enable-removal-policies=lru,heap' '--enable-snmp' '--enable-delay-pools' '--enable-htcp' '--enable-cache-digests' '--enable-underscores' '--enable-referer-log' '--enable-useragent-log' '--enable-auth=basic,digest,ntlm' '--enable-carp' '--enable-follow-x-forwarded-for' '--with-large-files' '--with-maxfd=65536' 'i386-debian-linux' 'build_alias=i386-debian-linux' 'host_alias=i386-debian-linux' 'target_alias=i386-debian-linux' 'CFLAGS=-Wall -g -O2' 'LDFLAGS=-Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions' 'CPPFLAGS=' Here i am pasting my squid.conf file (ecerpt) http_port 127.0.0.1:3128 http_port 192.168.1.6:3128 transparent cache_effective_user proxy cache_effective_group proxy hierarchy_stoplist cgi-bin ? acl QUERY urlpath_regex cgi-bin \? cache deny QUERY acl apache rep_header Server ^Apache broken_vary_encoding allow apache cache_mem 48 MB maximum_object_size 8192 KB fqdncache_size 2048 cache_dir ufs /var/spool/squid 1000 16 256 access_log /var/log/squid/access.log squid debug_options ALL,1 log_fqdn off hosts_file /etc/hosts refresh_pattern ^ftp: 1440 20% 10080 refresh_pattern ^gopher: 1440 0% 1440 refresh_pattern . 0 20% 4320 acl all src 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 acl manager proto cache_object acl localhost src 127.0.0.1/255.255.255.255 acl to_localhost dst 127.0.0.0/8 acl Safe_ports port 465 acl Safe_ports port 143 acl purge method PURGE acl CONNECT method CONNECT http_access allow manager localhost http_access deny manager http_access allow purge localhost http_access deny purge http_access deny !Safe_ports http_access deny CONNECT !SSL_ports acl our_networks src 192.168.1.0/24 acl ceo src 192.168.1.8 acl ceo src 192.168.1.35 acl normal_users src 192.168.1.159 192.168.1.160 192.168.1.161 192.168.1.162 acl filetype url_regex -i .exe .mp3 .vqf .tar.gz .gz .rpm .zip .rar .avi .mpeg .mpe .mpg .qt .ram .rm .iso .raw .wav .mov .mp4 .msi delay_pools 1 delay_class 1 2 delay_parameters 1 -1/-1 100/6000 delay_access 1 allow filetype normal_users http_access allow our_networks http_access allow ceo http_access allow normal_users http_access deny !normal_users http_access deny normal_users bannedsites http_access allow localhost http_access allow ceo http_access allow our_networks http_access deny all http_reply_access allow all cache_effective_user proxy cache_effective_group proxy visible_hostname innovation cache_mgr tech_support@xxxxxxxxxxx coredump_dir /var/spool/squid redirector_bypass on redirect_program /usr/bin/squidGuard -c /etc/squid/squidGuard.conf redirect_children 10 pipeline_prefetch on On Fri, Jun 12, 2009 at 8:00 PM, Kinkie <gkinkie@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > On Fri, Jun 12, 2009 at 4:01 PM, Thanigairajan<methanigai@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > Hi , > > > > I am facing some performance issues in squid . > > > > i.e. I have Debian etch with squid,squidguard,shorewall. > > Internet is working in normal speed if clients are approx 50 . > > If clients are approx 70 -100 it is getting very slow. > > > > I googled for tuning and done the following things, > > redirect_children 10 > > cache_dir ufs /var/spool/squid 1000 16 256 > > ufs is definitely not suited for anything but testing.
