Cache size
Select the amount of memory (RAM) on the SnapGear appliance to be reserved for
caching Internet objects. The maximum amount of memory you can safely reserve will
depend on what other services the SnapGear appliance has running, such as VPN or a
DHCP server.
If you will be using a
Network Share
(recommended, see below), it is generally best to
set this to
8 Megabytes
.
If you are unable to use a
Network Share
, start with a small cache (
8 Megabytes
or
16
Megabytes
) and gradually increase it until you find a safe upper limit where the
SnapGear appliance can still operate reliably.
