Hello,
Which http proxy to choose nowadays?
Squid? But as far as I understand it is single process which sounds not too effective for current dual cpu dual core servers. Apache? Something else?
Load can reach 1000-1500 simultaneous but slow speed connections (mobile phone clients). From more advanced features I need just possibility to redirect requests to certain domains to another proxy.
Thanks,
Mindaugas

You could span multiple instances of Squid on different ports. Don´t forget to make different processes use differente pid files, otherwise they will quit with this error: "Squid is already running". Keep in mind that Squid needs quick access to its cache (hard drive). I don´t know if several Squid processes are able to share the same cache - take a look and tell us.
Or you could use several virtual servers with virtualization (Xen, VMware, etc). Again, this might not be the most optimized scheme for hard drive access. I would *try* this option, if Xen is an option and the CPU is able to do full virtualization.
Both options might use round robin through iptables to balance the load.
is there a multi-threaded proxy out there?
