TAG NAME memory_pools_limit

Description The amount of memory Squid will keep allocated, assuming the Keep memory for future use option is turned on
Build Option
 Default
Usage
 memory_pools_limit bytes
Default
 none
Synopsis

Any non-zero value to this tag will instruct Squid not to keep more than that amount allocated, and if Squid requires more memory than that to fulfill a request, it will use your system’s malloc library. Squid does not pre-allocate memory, so it is safe to set this reasonably high. If your Squid runs on a dedicated host, it is probably wisest to leave it to its default of unlimited. If it must share the system with other server processes (like Apache or Sendmail) then it might be appropriate to limit it somewhat.


Arguments

bytes
