Hello all,
i have a new small subnet that i’m responsible for..
it consists of about 30 users with 8 servers..
users keep on complainig of slow browsing and so on..
i’m trying to figure out ways to speed up their browsing sessions without upgrading my current plan…
i’ve thought about Squid, i’ve set it up on centOS and it’s under testing.
so my question is, an out of the box squid configuration would be enough to speed things up with it’s caching options? or is there specific config to do so.. ?
PS: i’ve done the following config so far:
– added an ACL defining my trusted subnet
– allowed all access to this ACL
i can browse the net and so on through squid, but am i actualy caching? i check the caching directory and i see it’s growing in size (as minimal as one user could cause it todo so) but while using wireshark, i see that for each brwosing session i retrieve all “Static” obects from the net!
is that normal ?! wht did i do wrong ?
