I set up bind as a caching nameserver on my home network, + squid as a caching http proxy. The only serious editing of the squid config beyond the acl was setting cache_dir ufs /store/squid/ 100 16 256. I did it this way because /store is where md0 my raid 5 setup is mounted, thus reads and writes are much speedier there. Browsing is unnaturally fast now. I also discovered pgrep while I was reading a how to. You can use pgrep to get the process id of any running process. For instance pgrep httpd; will just return the process id’s of the apache threads with the main one being the 1st. Peace.
