I had transproxy running on a quite slow box (p100) for 30 clients, but tproxy caused quite some load if the proxy it was caching to was down...
I never tried it with that many connections though. BTW: i guess you'll configure your router to send :80 traffic to the tproxy box? squid has a transproxy too, maybe it's better to do load balancing some other way, and let squid transproxy (read the squid faq for info about squid transproxieing) I don't think transproxy will handle such a load quite well, but you can try and find out :) -- ,-------------------------------------------. > Name: Alson van der Meulen < > Personal: [EMAIL PROTECTED] < > School: [EMAIL PROTECTED] < `-------------------------------------------' Where's the GUI on this thing? ---------------------------------------------
