Hi
The school has a proxy server with 512Mb of memory.  The only major service running \
on it is Squid. The server acts as a proxy for approx 35 machines.  Will squid \
(depending on demand) use all available memory or are there self imposed limits? Are \
there other ways of tuning squid?  Should I really mess about with squid.conf!?

For example, what does this actually result in ?
cache_mem 320 MB

Thanks in advance for any help
