Re: [squid-users] performance question, 1 or 2 NIC's?

Thanks, guys. This is a small network I guess. I'll leave it with one NIC.
Who knows what 300 kids with laptops will be doing.

I see Hit Ratio mentioned quite a bit. Can somebody give me good
performance tuning link/tips etc for Squid? I have default install on
Debian. I could probably fine tune it to make sure that it performs a
little better.

Thanks again.
