Re: [squid-users] running multiple instances on NT ??

You could run the cygwin based port, which is more current, and has the
same config file as linux.

A NT service based version of that will soonbe availble thanks to some
nice work by Guido Serassio, and that will support per-service runtime
parameters, allowing multiple instances.
