RE: [squid-users] How to install Two Squids on the same FreeBSD box?

Hi Joe,

I need to run identical Squids on the same machine. The machine is a
Compaq 4 x P3 550 MHZ. Currently one process of Squid is filling up one
processor while serving arround 150 req/s. Whynot take advantadge of
that powerfull machine by filling up another processor since the ip
stack is still 25% used only.
As I understand from you, I can run another copy of the same binary?
-I don't need any object cahing (I compiled it with nulldisk option)
-The same squid.conf can be used
-I will add another IP address as an alias on the NIC (no need to assign
another port)

So I assume I have to:
- copy the squid.conf and assign the copy another ip address and pid
filename
- use another squid.sh for starting the same binary another time).
Anything else I shall do?

Thank you,

Edgard B Haddad

Do you need two different sets of compilation options, or will one
binary do?

I always just run multiple configurations off of the same binary. You
need to select different conf files from the command line, and each
specifies different ports, PID file, log files, and cache directories.
