RE: [squid-users] Re: Antivir scan big file problem with ICAP

Thanks
If you create ICAP support in HAVP you "kill two rabbits" ;)
ICAP support need for big nets, for speed up scan process
Example 5 servers scan for virus over icap and 5 squid over wccp cache
objects :) this clustercacheengine It will be more powerful CISCO
Cacheengine

You can easily create sandwich which loops back to the same Squid instance,
I recommend that with HAVP. It doesn't create much additional load, since
with ICAP you usually transfer the same network traffic back and forth
anyway.

But I agree that with ICAP you can get a slighly more clear setup.
