[squid-users] Large Solaris (2.8) Squid Server Advice Needed

Hello;

I have searched the archives, but I was unable to find any recent answers.
I have a Sparc/Solaris 2.8 server which has the following:

Squid-2.5.STABLE11
Solaris 2.8 (w/4 CPU's)
4X Network ports (one listens on a switch for requests as well as
connections to the Internet, the other I wish to configure on a private VLAN
for ICP.)

64GB of space available for Squid use. (+ 1GB Swap)
1GB of memory available for Squid use.

I am not sure if I am using both my hardware resources and my squid.conf
properly, especially with regards to: cache_dir ufs /usr/squidcache 8192 16
256

I have attached both my /etc/system and my squid.conf at the end. I am
hoping that this thread helps both myself as well as others with similiar
concerns on large servers like mine.

Many apologies for such a long email, but I have done my best to be as
informative as possible.

Thank you very much for such a great software package, and many, many thanks
in advance for the assistance of all.

vp.
