Hi Mark,

I am using up to 1 TB for my caches. However only about 500 GB are
interconnected to each other currently due to some restrictions. When
you say several boxes, does that mean to say 50 squid boxes each with
200 GB of cache? Or 20 boxes with 500 GB of cache?

I have no idea for the upper limit.

Why don't you give it a try. Please post us back your results and
feedbacks after running your 10-20 TB caches for some time.

Thanking you...
