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
