I use Squid w/WebMin:

http://www.squid-cache.org/

there is a nice web based interface for Squid with WebMin:

Squid, however, uses disk & memory caches. Not sure if it can be configured for only memory cache. Maybe. Let us know, Thanks!

Quote:

Squid-1.1 also uses a lot of memory to store in-transit objects. This version stores incoming objects only in memory, until the transfer is complete. At that point it decides whether or not to store the object on disk. This means that when users download large files, your memory usage will increase significantly. The squid.conf parameter maximum_object_size determines how much memory an in-transit object can consume before we mark it as uncachable. When an object is marked uncachable, there is no need to keep all of the object in memory, so the memory is freed for the part of the object which has already been written to the client. In other words, lowering maximum_object_size also lowers Squid-1.1 memory usage.

Apache2 reverse proxies implementation

Hi all, I hope someone here could shine a light on an issue that I am having with apache2. I have 2 servers with apache2 on each, which are on the same network with one router. I have implemented what I have seen on guides on the net on the landing server such as 'Apache2 reverse proxies'...

cachemgr.cgi

cachemgr.cgi(8) 					      System Manager's Manual						   cachemgr.cgi(8)

NAME

       cachemgr.cgi - squid HTTP proxy manager interface

SYNOPSIS

       http://your.server/cgi-bin/cachemgr.cgi

DESCRIPTION

       The  cache  manager (cachemgr.cgi) is a CGI utility for displaying statistics about the Squid HTTP proxy process as it runs. The cache man-
       ager is a convenient way to manage the cache and view statistics without logging into the server.

FILES

       ./cachemgr.conf
       /etc/squid/cachemgr.conf
	      The access configuration file defining which Squid servers may be managed via this  cachemgr.cgi	program.  Each	line  specifies  a
	      server:port followed by an optional description

	      The  server  name  may  contain  shell wildcard characters such as *, [] etc.  A quick selection dropdown menu is automatically con-
	      structed from the simple server names.

	      Specifying :port is optional. If not specified then the default proxy port is assumed. :* or :any matches any  port  on  the  target
	      server.

SECURITY

       cachemgr.cgi calls the requested server on the requested port using HTTP and returns a formatted version of the response. To avoid abuse it
       is recommended to configure your web server to restrict access to the cachemgr.cgi program.

       Configuration examples for many common web servers can be found in the Squid FAQ.
