You don't say which versions of FreeBSD or Squid. At this stage I am only familiar with Squid 1.1.x; I've yet to play with Squid 2 yet. Squid 1.1 is heavily dependent on th availability of real RAM. There is a "novm" release which is supposed to work better in constrained memory situations. On a machine with 32MB of RAM (whose only purpose is to run Squid) I have found empirically that a cache size of ~700MB with a memory sizing of 8MB is all that I can support before swapping kicks in. I haven't tried to novm version, but intend to move to Squid 2.1 which includes the novm functionality anyway. > I wainting for some tips. Also, please explain me how to clear all my cache directories and to start squid again... IIRC there's a command line switch for clearing the cache, and the daemon can be restarted quite easily. I suggest that you peruse the documentation/FAQ/etc at http://squid.nlanr.net/ -- Andrew I MacIntyre "These thoughts are mine alone..."
