[squid-users] How to calculate number of redirectors

Hi guys,

I am using Squid 2.5Stable3 and SquidGuard as a redirector. I am in a
network with about 1000 PCs and all of then are configured to use squid
with its address and port (no transparent proxying). When monitoring
cache.log file, I frequently see ''warning: All redirector processes are
busy. Consider increasing the number of redirector ...etc'. At the
beginning I was running with 5 redirectors, and then increased it to 10
and then to 20 but still get the warning message. I wonder is there a
better way to estimate the right number of redirector processes?
Actually I think the SquidGuard site recommends not using more than one
process.

Thanks
