X-Sender: opsys@freebsd.omaha.com To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Performance question of SQUID vs Apache... Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I am pondering the best way to boost performance at my new place of employment. They are a big NT shop *GAG*, but at least my boss is open to the idea of BSD. So here's the situation... We are moving to a new building in ~45 days. They have a NT web server farm of around 15 boxes. All the boxes sit on a switched ethernet network. The question I have is what would be faster and be the biggest performance boost: Squid doing caching + accelerating the NT web servers on FBSD of course, or Apache + Proxy/Caching module? Basically what im trying to do is pull the web content from the NT boxes over to a FBSD box and make the FBSD boxes do the actuall serving because they will obviously perform alot better. But some of the sites on the NT boxes are not static they are dynamic, like feeds from AP news wire and such. I would really be interested in ideas and thoughts on this. Whats the best way to go about doing this kind of scheme?
