running multilpe instances of squid

[Sir Rugmuncher]

From a friend...

OK, I have a squid proxy server for several computers. These computers are classified in 2 groups. One group has restricted access to the internet (no MSN, no kazaa, etc... ) and the other group full access. I also want to be able to generate usage statistics for each group independently of the other.

I would like to implement that by having 2 instances of squid running on the same computer, each instance dedicated to one group, and each instance having its own config file and own log file (so that I can generate independant statistics), but both instances sharing the same cache folder (for performance).

I am googling, and have not found anything yet

Is this possible? Or do you have any other solution to my problem?

Not possible.

You can run two seperate squid processes but sharing the cache file is not possible.
