Hello, we are currently using a single server (squid 2.4-STABLE7, Linux RedHat 7.3, 1.4 GHz Pentium III, 2 Gb Ram, 4096 FileDescriptors) as reverse-proxy for a small site (approx 2,5K objects, about 150 Mb). Due to growing load - 400 hits/sec, we are experincing loads about 30% user and 65% system-time
Is this alarming? Should we consider bying "web"-switches and adding furter servers? As the site is quite small, would it be a good idea to build a "mini"-linux booting of floppy/CD with no harddrives/filesystems? Regards, Allan
