Sorry, I do not follow your logic. Restricting some work such as ACL processing to one CPU is more likely to make the "balance" worth, not better, right? Why do you want to do that? Is your current CPU core balance a bottleneck? Have you solved all other Squid-related problems? If you cannot answer "yes" to both questions, then you are most likely doing what some call "premature optimization". Focus on removing what you think is the performance bottleneck instead. If you do not know where the bottleneck is, then focus on finding it. Meanwhile, until you reach a very good level of Squid understanding, it is best to use the same squid.conf for all Squid workers. While certain exceptions to this rule of thumb are technically possible, random attempts at giving different workers different configurations will usually result in a broken Squid. > here is Smp related configs : > ################################################## > if ${process_number} = 4 > visible_hostname squid > acl blockkeywords dstdomain "/etc/squid/deny.acl" > http_access deny blockkeywords > http_port 127.0.0.1:4008 > http_access allow localhost manager > endif > ####################################################################### > workers 4 > cpu_affinity_map process_numbers=1,2,3 cores=1,3,5 > #################################################################### > 2013/11/01 16:37:29| WARNING: Could not determine this machines public > hostname.

BTW, you also have not configured any access rules for most of your workers which will result in them denying all requests they get. HTH, Alex.
