[squid-users] Peer selection based on IP with multiple ports?

[roee klinger]

Hey,

I am using Squid to route users to different peers based on their
usernames, I was asked to add support for IP whitelisting recently but I
ran into an issue.

If one IP wants to access to different peers, I will have to do it based on
on the listening port number, as there is no other way to differentiate the
traffic, however, Squid is limited to 128 listening ports, which means I
will have to use a max of 128 peers.

I know I can increase the maximum to more than 128 listening ports, but
apparently, this will result in performance issues.

I was wondering what is the accepted way to do this?

Thanks,
Roee
