Description :
The NOVM version of the squid will use less memory to do the proxy job, at
the expense of file descriptors. (NOVM stands for NO Virtual Memory). If you
are tight on memory on your proxy/cache server, this might be for you.
Squid is a high-performance proxy caching server for web clients, supporting
FTP, gopher, and HTTP data objects. Unlike traditional caching software,
Squid handles all requests in a single, non-blocking, I/O-driven process.
Squid keeps meta data and especially hot objects cached in RAM, caches DNS
lookups, supports non-blocking DNS lookups, and implements negative caching
of failed requests.
Squid supports SSL, extensive access controls, and full request logging. By
using the lightweight Internet Cache Protocol, Squid caches can be arranged
in a hierarchy or mesh for additional bandwidth savings.
Squid consists of a main server program squid, a Domain Name System lookup
program dnsserver, a program for retrieving FTP data ftpget, and some
management and client tools. When squid starts up, it spawns a configurable
number of dnsserver processes, each of which can perform a single, blocking
Domain Name System (DNS) lookup. This reduces the amount of time the cache
waits for DNS lookups.
Squid is derived from the ARPA-funded Harvest project.
