RE: [squid-users] delay pool configuration and query - PL PL Respond

Thanks Chris

I am seeing peaks between Squid and Clients. Is there any way to force
cached data also to go thru delay pool?

What is delay_initial_bucket_level. If I make it 0 or make it 100 , what
will happen? Pl give some example. I have read FAQ and other documents
but I couldn't understand this.

Another thing which I want to know is - Is delay pool going to take more
resources from server? Do I need to add more memory or CPU? I am
planning to use class c delay pools. And I have nearly 3000 users.

Thanks - LK

Where are you doing this monitoring? Between the Internet and Squid or
between Squid and the clients. Cached traffic is not affected by delay
pools.

Either use the squidclient on the proxy to access the cache manager...

/path/to/squidclient cache_object://localhost/menu

...or set up a web server with the cachemgr.cgi and give it access to
your cache. Look for a menu object relating to delay pools. I don't
have a server set up with delay pools, so I can't be more specific.
