This is a general Squid question. If you have experience with medium sized networks (300+ users) and Squid, this question is for you. I'm setting up a transparent Squid box for 300 users. All requests from the router are sent to the Squid box. Squid box has one NIC, eth0. This box receives requests (from clients) and catches content from the web using this one NIC on its one WAN port, eth0. Question: would it improve performance of the Squid box if I was receiving requests (from the clients) on eth0 and caching content on eth1? In other words, is there a benefit of using two NIC's vs. one? This is a public IP/WAN Squid box. Both eth0 and eth1 would have a WAN (public IP) address. Current (working setup) Clients -> Router -> (eth0/WAN1) Squid -> (eth0/WAN1) www Would this be (performance wise) better? Clients -> Router -> (eth0/WAN1) Squid (eth1/WAN2) -> www I'm on a 12Mb line.
