Relevant Info: Squid Version: 2.6.STABLE21, Distro: ipcop-1.4.21 Kernel: 2.4.36
Update: Decided to investigate using squid's delay pools, below is relevant section # Define Delay Pools delay_pools 2 delay_class 1 1 delay_class 2 2 # Define Delay Pools Speeds delay_parameters 1 -1/-1 delay_parameters 2 -1/-1 4096/2097152 delay_initial_bucket_level 100 # Define Delay Pool Access delay_access 1 allow MAIL DNS delay_access 1 deny all delay_access 2 allow OTHERS delay_access 2 deny all Looked at smoothwall (similar to ipcop), pfsense (like what I see, will use it in future), ebox (interesting, will use in another scenario) and untangle (download size too huge for my liking, am trying to save bandwidth not use it up:) Still learning.
