      Anyone have experience with Squid proxy in a large environment?

      I have the SSL Certificate Daemon Children set at 25 but I still seem to get intermittent "Secure Connection Failed" responses.  I believe these are a result of unavailable certificate helpers at time of query.  A reload of the page usually fixes the issue within seconds.

      Has anyone set the number of children higher with success?  Is it memory or CPU limited as you add more?

        sslcrtd_children 64 startup=10 idle=1

        works fine here, not really higher load on cpu or ram.
