After some memory upgrade to 4GB RAM, I am trying to optimize my squid caches to maintain as most as little objects in memory without storing them on disk. Big objects are not kept in memory but stored on disk. these are my config parameters ... cache_mem 600 MB memory_replacement_policy heap GDSF maximum_object_size_in_memory 16 KB cache_replacement_policy heap LFUDA minimum_object_size 16 KB maximum_object_size 100 KB cache_swap_low 95 cache_swap_high 95 acl QUERY urlpath_regex cgi-bin \? cache deny QUERY cache allow all I notice not all small objects are kept in memory but we are well speaking about objects ... * not containing ? in the query * smaller than 16KB * containing some explicit 'Content-Length' http header * not containing any 'pragma no-cache' header so my questions are ... Is 'squidclient mgr:vm_objects |egrep 'GET|POST'' really the command to get all objects in memory (or is there another command) and is this command real-time (or do we have to expect some delay ) ?? Is the instruction 'cache' applicable for all kind of caching (memory and disk) or this only for disabling disk caching ?? /system SQUID 2.7.4 in internal network behind another Internet Gateway SQUID 2.7.4 in the DMZ/ Solaris 8 many thks to help me Vincent ----------------------------------------------------------------- ATTENTION: This e-mail is intended for the exclusive use of the recipient(s).
