Wait a minute. In reference to "I'm using an ACL file with about 7000 URL redirector / filter." What do you mean? Do you mean you have a URL file that squidguard loads 7000 urls? Or are you using squid acl's to block access to specific URLs?
If the latter is the case, that is your performance issue, right there. :-) If not.... Something is going horribly wrong. First of all, where ever possible, use the domain filters to block sites. There really aren't all that many situations where a URL block is necessary. The reason I bring that up is that you could require 100+ urls just to block specific pages on websites. Analyse the real need in accessing the entire site and consider blocking the domain ( 1 block, as opposed to 100+ blocks) Your lag time in the squid -k reconfigure process can be blamed a ton of different things. How much memory do you have? How many TOTAL url/domain blocks are there? How many redirect children are you using? etc. Tim Rainier Information Services, Kalsec, INC [EMAIL PROTECTED] David Bronson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 11/10/2005 02:04 PM To Fernando Giorgetti <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> cc [email protected] Subject Re: Tuning SquidGuard / Other choices I have a similar machines serving 800 to 1000 workstations without a problem. These are used by several thousand users with 100k urls in several blacklists. The additional redirect children aren't helping you (according to the documentation). I execute a squid -k reconfigure in the middle of the day and it goes unnoticed generally. Reduce the redirect children to 1 and re-evaluate the performance.
