This prize shall keeping by previos admins I think... ). I'm only try to
soft reorganization of the IT-infrastructure. My question was coming
because of I new with squid, but have expirience in planning and
optimizing network services.

No problem. Here it is.

It's Stable6, but shall be upgraded sooner.
Saying about other advices, I'd thought morning about absolutely no
needed this HUGE acl lists for every user in database and how can I take
it out. Your solutions show powerful expirience to solve it.
I decide to take revision of squid configuration and rewrite sources of
accounting system to prevent it reconfiguring Squid (this system is
another opensource project of third people).
Also we shall use mysql_auth or self-developed helper for authentication
puproses.
Saying about caching: we have trouble with hard disk subsystem load on
this channel and not so good hitrate because of wide surfing habits of
student from different countries.
I think we can turn on caching when we shall setup additional caching
servers and turn on CARP.
What do you think about creating 1-2Gb cache-directory in RAM? Think It
was impressive latency down (from 7-8ms on HDD to 80-100ns in RAM) and
bandwidth up (4.6GBps instead of 80MBps). Servers have good power backup
systems and can save it, or nothing can prevent put the system in
hibernate mode.
--------------------------------------
Have a good day,
Serg Androsov.
P.S. It's current squid.conf which coming with Accounting system. There
is without ACL's
