Hi, We are using Squid as forward-proxy for about 10-20k clients with about 1200RPS. In our setup, we are using 4 physical servers (HP ProLiant DL380 G6/G7 with 16CPU, 32GB RAM) with RHEL5.8 64Bit as OS with a dedicated hardware loadbalancer. At the moment, the average server load is approx 0.6. We are currently using: Squid Cache: Version 3.1.16 configure options: '--enable-ssl' '--enable-icap-client' '--sysconfdir=/etc/squid' '--enable-async-io' '--enable-snmp' '--enable-poll' '--with-maxfd=32768' '--enable-storeio=aufs' '--enable-removal-policies=heap,lru' '--enable-epoll' '--disable-ident-lookups' '--enable-truncate' '--with-logdir=/var/log/squid' '--with-pidfile=/var/run/squid.pid' '--with-default-user=squid' '--prefix=/opt/squid' '--enable-auth=basic digest ntlm negotiate' '-enable-negotiate-auth-helpers=squid_kerb_auth' '--with-aufs-threads=32' '--enable-linux-netfilter' '--enable-external-acl-helpers' --with-squid=/home/squid/squid-3.1.16 --enable-ltdl-convenience IMHO, it is really important which features you are planning to use. For example, we are using authentication (kerberos, ntlm, ldap) and ICAP content adaption. Without that, our RPS-rate would be much higher. Because of a lacking SMP-support in 3.1, we are using 4 instances per server. At the beginning, the setup used to be much simpler! ;-) hth, Peter On Mon, Mar 12, 2012 at 1:47 PM, David B. <haazeloud@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi, > > It's only a reverse proxy cache, not a proxy.
