RE: High load squid configuration

Hi.

As disscussed a few weeks ago on the list.. RAID is not a huge performance
increase for Squid.. Is the server going to be a dedicated proxy server? Or
will it be running other services aswell? That might be something to take
into consideration..

Hi all

    I'm about to configure a dedicated squid proxy server for a high
bandwidth (155mb lan with 10mbps link to the net) high use (3000
students) network, what should be the primary considerations here, at
the moment I'm looking at a PIII - 500mhz with a SCSI Raid array and
256mb ram running linux.

Has anyone done anything similiar to this?

Thanks
