Re: [squid-users] LVS & cachemgr/snmp?

I suspect I'm talking to myself again here
[this list gets awful lonely sometimes :) ]

There doesn't seem to be an easy way around this.

Looking at the snmp code, it returns a
barely related set of stats which don't
contain the cachemgr subset I'm after.

The only way to suck in the cachemgr
stats is through the main squid port.

slightly frustrating, but I'll live.
