Cache hierarchy with/without Squid.
by Nadeem M Khan 13 Mar '06

13 Mar '06

Hi. I have two squids - one physically located at my data center and another with my ISP. My workstations are configured to use the squid at the datacenter. I wanted all cache misses at the data center to be redirected to my ISP's squid, so I added.. cache_peer proxy.myisp.net parent 8080 3130 (8080 = http_port and 3130 = default ICP port) ..to my squid.conf. I have two questions: 1. How do I verify that cache-misses are redirected to my ISPs proxy? 2. Is it possible to implement cache hierarcy if my ISPs proxy was not squid but winproxy, ms proxy, etc? Thanks in advance. Regards, NMK.

[OT] Triband parallel phone woes
by Rony Bill 13 Mar '06

13 Mar '06

Hello all, Some of my customers expressed reluctance to go for triband as it would need a rewiring of the parallel phones through the splitter. Some existing ones too are using the service at half the speed and even frequent hangups due to parallel phones. They cannot rewire their offices. This gives me an idea that instead of rewiring the lines through the splitter, if we could add extra splitters at every phone point, then this should do the same job. Are these splitters available seperately or do they come with the modem only? Another option would be to copy the filter circuit. As I have only one working set, I don't have the heart to open it and tinker around but my guess is that it is a simple capacitor and inductor circuit. A series low impedence inductor with the phone output will allow low frequencey phone signals to pass and offer high resistance to the high freq. adsl signals. A low capacitance series capacitor with the adsl output will allow high freq. adsl sigs. but block the low freq. phone signals. So if we can get the value of the series inductance for the phone output, we can buy it from the market and connect it in series with all the parallel phones and thus avoid rewiring. JTD and some others have dabbled with the adsl so they could give some tips. :) Regards, Rony. ___________________________________________________________ NEW Yahoo!

is there a library(or a set of libraries) that can generate thumnails from avi/mpeg/pdf/text files.. like the way it displays in konqueror or nautilus or something.. I need to use it in a java application.. but even if its a shared library i can use it.. or even like a command line based tool would be perfect.. Thanks!! -- Puneet
