Call me no expert, but under Cache Configuration/Properties/Advanced there is a small box which has "Percentage of free memory to use for caching:" I think here is where W3PROXY decides how big to grow or not. I have this set to 70% and its common on my 2 GB ISA servers for it to use 1.2 - 1.5 GB of memory. It also could be that I am using SuperScout and we are investigating a memory leak... :) -----Original Message----- From: Jeremy Pullicino [mailto:jeremyp@xxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, 6 December 2001 9:04 PM To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Subject: [isalist] RE: W3PROXY.EXE Memory Usage http://www.ISAserver.org I wish that MS would tell us more about the memory allocation of the W3PROXY service. From my experience. (I have been working with ISA since it's beta now) When ISA is installed fresh, it does not take much memory, however, depending on how it is configured, and how many people are accessing it, I have seen the memory grow to HUGE sizes... (hundereds of megabytes). It does not crash, and the memory stops growing at a certain point, many times it even just drops suddenly and frees up big chunks of memory. I wonder what mechanisms are used to allocate memory, what options change this, how users affect the memory, the maximum memory that it should reach, etc, etc... However, memory does not seem to affect performance that much...
