I'm sorry to askthis here but I know that a lot of you use Apache Web Server and maybe the proxy caching module also. My question is about the best configuration settings for the caching capabilities of the proxy module. We are planning to put a FreeBSD 2.2.8 server with Apache 1.3.4 and a 6GB HD just to work as a Web Caching server. We have been testing it and works great, besides it takes some time without showing any progress in your browser and suddenly the whole page appears. My actual settings in httpd.conf are: ProxyVia On CacheRoot /usr/home/proxyman/apache_1.3.4/proxy CacheSize 100000 CacheGcInterval 4 CacheMaxExpire 12 CacheLastModifiedFactor 0.1 CacheDefaultExpire 1 ProxyReceiveBufferSize 2048 Question 1. Is there a fine tuning for these settings? Question 2. Do you think is worth to have a Web Caching Server? Question 3. Does FreeBSD 2.2.8 supports SCSI-3 or ATA (UltraDMA) Hard Disks? Question 4. Is there another way of increasing page access speed to my clients and saving bandwidth besides Web Caching? Thanks a lot for your answers.
