I am running a squid server behind a firewall. Problem is the network slows down to a crawl. Including web traffic and traffic within the network. The network becomes ok when i remove the squid box from being inline. I can surf the internet with the squid box, but it is so slow that many pages timeout and clients get disconnected.
I cannot recompile the squid because it is embedded within several other software. But i can reconfigure the operating system and some squid.conf options. my config ----------- dual processor xeon 1.3ghz primary hd = 40gb other hd = 4 x 120 gb 3com nic = 2 x 10/100mbps linux redhat 6. sonicwall firewall (i am not familiar with this product) 200+ users only transparent proxy bridging enabled. services enabled , ssh, snmp, httpd, CacheXpress (propriety) I am not familiar with squid so this question may be very broad. Biggest problem i have is that i cannot re-compile the kernal without breaking the other services running. i am hoping someone has experience with squid behind the sonicwall firewall will respond with some configs for the OS.
