Dear Luggers.....;)
i have been using Squid for a looooooooong time now..;) and alwayz thought it was the answer to all my caching need. Especially as far as Web Caching Solutions/TRansparent proxying has ben concerned for my numerous deployments.
Off late....i have been settin up and running a small isp setup in bombay and have been faced with a small perplexing issue. I have about 100 clients as of now....nd growing day-by-day......
Initially, when the customers were few, the load was miniscule and Squid on the Gateway would doa lovely job. Of late....Squid has been less of a boon and more of a curse to my setup. the memory requirements/cpu hoggin is taking my system down with cpu usage averagin @ 90%......nd due to tremendous requests being bombared @ it, the queue just dramatically increases response times to the clients.
That apart....my Transparent Web Caching solution also implements ad-zapping......which i hav made spawd 15 sub threads for url re-directing under squid.
Due to the huge boggin down of my server...i had to shut down caching.
Is there ny solution....????. Where hav i erred.?????. Should i setup caching on a box different to the billing server..????
Ur comments/suggestions r welcome.
