Abdullah,

Thanks. We originally get this suggestion from our vendor (you know
this major player's name :-). Then we realized, if not running WCCP
between router and cache, then the cache is unable to throw back the
request.

So a more generic question. Can squid, or any other cache engine
support by-pass function ? or "throw" back function when it find the
request is not cacheable ? All question under no-WCCP condition.

BTW, Is there any cache solution, other than Cisco, or Inktomi, that
you think working well under 500~1000M backgroud traffic ?

thanks !

my semi-informed guess is that a netapp (or other good nfs raid array) and a foundry
(or other good load balancer), along with several load-balanced squid boxen would
do a pretty good job at this rate. might have to modify squid a bit, but the throughput
would be there.
