Re: [squid-users] Squid Question

Squid runs as a single process, so it won't use that second processor
unless you run two of them. Our Celeron 366 systems do 10Mbit without a
problem -- 15 with some prodding. Therefore, my guess would be no.

If you have enough disk space on each end, I would suggest running an
rsync server on the stats server and have the web servers upload their
logs during a slow period.

As for cutting FDs, add vhost to the log format and log all of the sites
together. You would lose per-site log files moving to squid, anyway.
