And If I may add without being rude: There are cases which squid can slow down traffic compared to a routing only setup. Due to this it's very important to verify if squid is the right solution for any given scenario. And I believe in what Alex said in the past "it's not a weekend task".

I got to know that, more > cache memory would increase performance of squid.. Maybe, maybe not. "slow" is relative. But to what? cache_mem is the directive you are asking for <http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/config/cache_mem/> But "slow" is usually not a memory problem. Giving Squid *too much* cache_mem or configuring othe things that take too much RAM can make the system swap and slow down. <http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/SquidMemory> Amos _______________________________________________ squid-users mailing list squid-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.squid-cache.org/listinfo/squid-users _______________________________________________ squid-users mailing list squid-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.squid-cache.org/listinfo/squid-users
