The only thing I know, comparing to what we've got at work, is that you need a lot of disk space and they should be fast disks! And I guess you need a lot of memory on the machine too. Look at http://cache.is.co.za/squid/ This is what I read at the FAQ: In late 1998, if you are buying a new machine for a cache, I would recommend the following configuration: 300 MHz Pentium II CPU 512 MB RAM Five 9 GB UW-SCSI disks Your system disk, and logfile disk can probably be IDE without losing any cache performance. -- __o regards, Gunnar ---_ \<,_ email: flygt@sr.se ---- (_)/ (_) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
