Hi All I am trying to load test squid using this simple test. From a single client machine I want to simultaneously download 200 different HTTP files of 10MB each in a loop over and over again. I see that within 5 minutes squid process size goes beyond 250MB. These 10MB files are all cachable and return a TCP_HIT for the second time onwards. There are other processes running and I want to limit squid memory usage to 120MB. Hard disk partition allocated to Squid is of 10GB and is made using device-mapper. I am using 3 cache_dir as mentioned below. How can I control Squid memory usage in this case? Below is my portion of my squid.conf.
