[squid-users] Question: cache_mem share among multiple squid instances with the same service_name in SMP mode

[Zhijian Li (Fujitsu)]

Hi All,

In SMP mode, is it possible that cache_mem can be share among multiple squid instances with the same service_name?

Per SmpScale[1], "memory object cache (in most environments)" can be share among workers
Per smp-enabled-squid[2], "Each set of SMP-aware processes will interact only with other processes using the same service name"

So if i have multiple (SMP mode + same service_name) squid instances, would they share the cache_mem objects.
