Re: [squid-users] squid 2.6/2.7 with cache_peer and sourcehash

Hi, and thanks for the answer.

Yes, we are using it as reverse proxy, but the main concern is about
the posibility of getting a huge range of users masked behind a common
IP and hammering just 1 server... is that possible or am I
understanding the sourcehash mechanism wrong?
