RE: [squid-users] Squid, and 1500 users.

Hello

my experience:

All depends on speed of our line to Internet and how people will be active.

I have a farm of Squids for 15 000 people, 2x 5Mbit line to Internet.

Geografically I have one server (OS Linux RH7.2 + Squid 2.4.x) for one town
(altogether 8 towns), each for aproxmatelly 2000-3000 people.
Servers are DELL PowerEdge 2600
(http://www.dell.com/downloads/us/pedge/pedge_2600.pdf) (UniCPU PIII, RAM
256 MB, HDD 2x9GB)
CPU load is between 5-20% of CPU time.

If you want something for loadbalancing and high availability:

In central I have a "cluster" of 3 Squids servers
(http://www.linuxvirtualserver.org) and 2 virtualservers (with Heartbeat)
based on Compaq Proliant DL 380 G2
(http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/servers/proliantdl380/index.html). There
are 2 CPU PIII/1GHz, 1GB RAM, 3x35GB HDD in RAID1/5. On LVS server is CPU
load 0%, Squids take between 10-15% CPU time.

Sometimes I'm wonnder which is the best configuration HW to make squid work
with 1500 users.

Someone can help me sending link and experiences ?

I think that load balancing with multiple Squids is the best solution, isn't
it ?
