Janisk,

Thanks, But I am Using Intel Xeon 3 GHZ, with 1 GB RAM, Stilll getting No. Of Problems. I am Ready to Put another Xeon, But I am NOT getting result.

I am Behind this Web Proxy from last one month. I think i have to go for alternate solution.

CPU usages morethan 90% all the time when Proxy is enabled.

If it works fine than OK..Other wise i am wasting my TIME

if usage is so great that it brings Xeon to its knees then you should think of implementing a real proxy server (linux squid on separate box) and set up parent proxy for your network. Because ROS 2.9 supports only 1 core, 1 thread (unless you disable HT) so you would get greater punch if you made dual CPU box with advanced proxy sitting there. that way you could gain from SCSI or SAS

EDIT:
but then you have to have a LOT of users

The major bottleneck in a proxy, is Disk IO and Memory. Seeing you don’t have access to ‘fine tune’ the squid configurations for your requirements, MT will NEVER scale the same like squid.

Get a dedicated system, slap on Linux/FreeBSD, grab the latest version of Squid, and spend some GOOD time on configuring and tuning it. Squid will scale a milllion times better than MT, under any condition provided the dedicated machine is configured properly…

I said it a million times, I’ll say it again, MT is a ROUTER, not a PROXY. They are two FUNDAMENTALLY different features.
