If Astaro can't cache the database locally, I am wondering if we could replicate it to another system, and configure Astaro to connect to that system instead of the Internet ones..
even if you uncheck everything and use just the http proxy the requests still go to the cff servers..and when they get slow for whatever reason http crawls to a halt with it..
You're right, Just sniffed the traffic from my astaro box, and it still open many connection to cffs servers while using the proxy.
Even if everything was disable but the proxy itself (no URL filter, AV, caching..)
So I'm not sure what it sends there...
A solution might be to use another proxy than the one provided by astaro, unless they decide to implement local caching... But the astaro proxy is so useful in combination with its AV, and transparent proxy.....
Even caching response for a day would greatly improve speed and probably not take much space...
I have my own solution to this..I'm switching to Untangle. I'll watch here to see what v9 brings.
I appreciate your passion william but come on Untangle[:P] Maybe when they come up with v9 of untangle it will not be so clunky[:D] And don't even get me started on that java console...
As far as the local cache, I hope they have a enable and disable feature for that. If they continue on this path of hardware upgrade with every version, my astaro box at home will be more powerful than my workstation[:P]
ya know..the one thing that chaps my hide about Astaro is the increasing number of times i have to shutdown my http proxy due to something going on with the cff servers. And it's not my connection as i ssh into some servers in wash state i admin and can replicate the slow response directly form the cff servers. Makes the web feel and act like i'm on low grade isdn not a 16 megabit connection..
