Hi, I have a script that queries a database when a request is made to squid. It handles two different types of request: those made from authenticated users, and unauthenticated requests which can be allowed based on the requesting host. Requests of each type are defined with a different external_acl_type definition in squid.conf and different arguments are sent to the script depending which type it is. Recently we hit the limits of the default children_max and its associated queue length. It was addressed by increasing children_max - but it made me wonder: if I have two external_acl_type rules calling the same external script, does squid maintain separate counts for the script instances associated for each external_acl_type definition? Does external_acl_type children-max 10 host_based blah blah blah script.py external_acl_type children-max 10 user_based blah blah blah script.py ... have a max of 10 instances for each acl_type? Or 10 instances total? thanks Kevin _______________________________________________ squid-users mailing list squid-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.squid-cache.org/listinfo/squid-users
