quick reply before i go: with 256MB of ram and stuff and doing nothing but squid and dansguardian, with 10 clients i'd say go for 64MB of cache with a maximum object size of 32K... you don't want the cache to ever need to touch the swap, as it would defeat the purpouse....

i'm back... how'd it go?? about the multiple instances thing, seems like it's not as simple as just starting another copy and using the "-c"... but i found this howto linked from the dansguardian website: http://www.filter.bz/dansguardian.htm

BTW, in the dansguardian.conf there's this:
Quote:
# Filter groups options
# filtergroups sets the number of filter groups. A filter group is a set of content
# filtering options you can apply to a group of users. The value must be 1 or more.
# DansGuardian will automatically look for dansguardianfN.conf where N is the filter
# group. To assign users to groups use the filtergroupslist option. All users default
# to filter group 1. You must have some sort of authentication to be able to map users
# to a group. The more filter groups the more copies of the lists will be in RAM so
# use as few as possible.
filtergroups = 1
filtergroupslist = '/etc/dansguardian/filtergroupslist'

Thanks for all the help. My client loves the software so far. I am disappointed in the lack of filtering for sites that have video of people doing stupid things and pictures of people doing stupid things. Also, even with PICS levels adjusted, it doesn't do a great job of filtering gambling sites. I spent a long time choosing creative phrases often found on those sites to try and block them out. I would like to find a way to tighten the reigns even more via PICS and not rely on my keywords.

After 30 days, once we get everything fine tuned with the config files, my client will be purchasing the professional edition of dans guardian and a proper server that will support the 60 some PCs they have and will be able to handle multiple instances of DansGuardian for user groups.

Thanks again for all of your help!!
