True. Though sometimes the operating system FD limits need to be
increased. This is usually the case for reverse-proxy setups that are
expecting large volumes of traffic.

No.

Squid will handle as many simulataneous connections as your hardware, 
operating system, and network connection can support.

It's just the same as your web server - it'll handle as many connection 
requests as it can; there's nothing to configure to specify how many to 
accept.

[squid-users] Parameter to define quantity of clients in Proxy Reverse

2016-09-21 Thread Roberto Carna 
Dear, just a brief question:

I have Squid 3.4.8 on Debian running in reverse proxy mode, and I need
to know if there is any parameter in squid.conf that I have to adjust
in order to define the quantity of clients I will accept.

Or is the same if the squid receives 10 or 1.000.000 petitions at the
same time??? (My hardware is big enough, this is not my problem).

Special thanks,

Roberto
