Hi,
I am trying to use the squid cache as an outbound HTTP/S proxy service for our production network and would like to scale up the request per sec by running it on multi-core systems.
I have searched up the archives and config docs, but couldn't find anything more recent than the below on setting up SMP workers.
* Can someone please let me know if the config examples in those docs still apply to the latest version 5.1.
* Do we still need the combination of squid, frontend, backend.conf files, or is it enabled simply with the "workers" line in the main config file?
* When I attempt to run the squid server with "workers 4" in the squid.conf, I get the following error (one for each kid) and the main process does not bind to the "http_port 3128". I see several UDP ports opened up for each kid process.
2021/09/29 00:44:10 kid5| commBind Cannot bind socket FD 11 to [::]: (2) No such file or directory
* Does anyone have recommendations on the maximum number of workers to use on a 64 core host (assuming no other CPU intensive apps are running on the same host). Caching is not a must for our initial deployment, so we are fine disabling caching.
Thanks
Praveen
