[squid-users] Squid settings and Option Question

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

My College has a T-1 line that is maxed out most of the time. They also
have some wireless lines connected to 1MB DSL lines and a new Cable
Line that is setup at 4.2MB. I have a Fedora Core 4 machine setup with the
Advnced Linux routing to connect the Cable and Wireless to the machine as
default routes with equal weighting. My test lab is set to use this machine as
the proxy, and I can see the load accessing both the wlan0 and the eth, so
that is working.

The access for regular pages seems slower, but accessing files that get in
the cache seems excellent. Wondering if something in the options might be
causing the problem.

The squid -v is the default for the Fedora Core 4.

On another machine I downloaded the latest squid source, and built it with
the above options, but changing the poll and select to disable and epoll
enabled as was recommended in another message. The compile seemed to
work fine, but after doing the make install it had problems running. So,
something seemed different in the config. So, it appears other changes,
since it was trying to access squid.conf in chroot instead of
/etc/squid/squid.conf.

Thanks.
