Hello list,
traffic analysis shows a lot of webradio traffic going through our squid (up to 10%).
From the logs and the cachemgr it seems like squid is not caching this at all - similar to ssl-traffic.
Is there any way to achieve caching of this content?
A seperate streaming proxy configured to work with the most popular sites would be acceptable, but of course the best way would be some squid 'magic'. Blocking this traffic is not really an option.
Hello Henrik,
If the content is 'streaming' (if it's no t'static' audio files), then this cannot be cached because the data is always changing.

Hello,
yes, I am talking about streaming content, but I think I should replace "caching" with "multiplexing"...
What I mean is if one user is listening to one station it will create a certain amount of traffic. If e.g. ten users are listening to the same station, the traffic will increase ten times. What I want is to multiplex a live stream to multiple users, either without the user noticing (preferred) or by redirecting them by acl or whatever. This would give a group of users the possibility to use webradio without putting to much load on the line.
