Squid优化完全手册(1)(转)[@more@]
一、 概述
squid是一款优秀的open source的代理服务器软件，可以运行于多种系统平台上，但是同其他商业化的产品相比，其缺点也是很明显的，那就是它的命中率和效率相对低下。
本文主要讨论在不改变硬件条件之下，通过以下手段对squid进行性能优化：
1． 编译一个高效的、精简的新内核；
2． 对Cache分区采用reiserfs日志文件系统；
3． 重新编译squid；
4． 优化squid配置；
对于优化的效果，我使用大名鼎鼎的cacheflow公司的测试工具——cfmc进行测试比较：
首先用cfmc自带的一个脚本，从squid.conf的access.log中抽出RUL，然后以这些RUL为依据进行测试。
服务器配置：
型号：HP LH3
CPU：PII450
内存：256MB 100MHz ECC SDRAM DIMM
硬盘：9.1GB Hot-Swap Ultra2 Hard Disk
网卡：Ethernet Express PRO 100 10/100M X 2
操作系统：RedHat 7.1
优化前测试结果：
Iteration 0: Cumulative statistics; 933 seconds elapsed
Total objects: 72599, total object size: 513211102 bytes
Average object size: 7069 bytes
Average object response time: 2707 milliseconds
Objects per second: 77.81
Bytes per second: 550065, min: 550065, max: 879873
URLs discarded due to socket or connection failures: 6955
Redirections: 1017, Cookied objects: 1036
Pragma no-cache objects: 1656, Non-200 HTTP response codes: 2505
优化后测试结果：
Iteration 0: Cumulative statistics; 688 seconds elapsed
Total objects: 72599, total object size: 403833100 bytes
Average object size: 5562 bytes
Average object response time: 1890 milliseconds
Objects per second: 105.52
Bytes per second: 586966, min: 586966, max: 995582
URLs discarded due to socket or connection failures: 16372
Redirections: 1658, Cookied objects: 1000
Pragma no-cache objects: 1454, Non-200 HTTP response codes: 3132
通过对以上测试结果的比较，我们可以看出：
优化后的Objects per second增加了35.6％，Average object response time减少了43.2％，对整体性能的提升还是比较明显的。
二、 编译新内核
我们采取这样的方式来编译内核：取消内核的模块支持，将服务器所有的硬件驱动编译到内核中，此外还要注意将对reiserfs文件系统的支持也编译到内核中，从而在提供系统性能的同时增加系统安全性。在2.4.10以上的版本中，已经内置了对reiserfs文件系统的支持。
首先从http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.4/下载linux-2.4.12.tar.gz，这是当前最新的内核。
然后解开内核文件：
tar xvzf linux-2.4.12.tar.gz
进入新生成的目录并执行：
cd linux
make mrproper
make config
根据我的服务器的配置，我选择这样编译内核：

这里需要说明的是：如果要使用透明代理模式，要仔细选择Netfilter，因为我们还得用iptables来重定向tcp包，以满足透明代理的要求。
假如您的服务器配置与我的不同，只需要更改相应的硬件配置参数即可，比如CPU类型、网卡、SCSI硬盘等。
接着：
make bzImage
完成后，将 arch/i386/boot/目录下的新内核bzImage拷贝到/boot/目录下，并更名为opt：
cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/
mv /boot/bzImage /boot/opt
然后编辑lilo.conf如下所示：
boot=/dev/sda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
message=/boot/message
default=opt
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.2-2
label=linux
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.2-2.img
read-only
root=/dev/sda1
image=/boot/opt
label=opt
read-only
root=/dev/sda1
最后执行：
# lilo
Added linux
Added opt *
好了，这样我们就可以用新内核启动了，您可以发现，这样自己编译的内核要小的多，也快得多
