Re: [squid-users] Facebook page very slow to respond

Hello.

After attempting several suggestions from guys here in the list, I'm
still experiencing the same problem: Facebook is so sluggish that my
users are complaining everyday and is just depressing.

Today I came up with an idea: Use a "dedicated" line for facebook
traffic. For ei.

         LAN
            |
            |
     SERVER ------- Internet line for facebook only
            |
            |
        Internet

Can this be possible?
Can this solution fix my problems or give me more problems?

Thanks.
