Santhosh,

Just a couple of tips before going to the hp-ux box.

-Make sure you download the version of squid that is known to work on hp-ux:

http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/hppd/hpux/Networking/WWW/squid-2.5.STABLE10/

There is a utility documented on hp to configure squip with webmin
http://docs.hp.com/en/5991-4585/ch03s02.html

If the proxy was performing well in linux that is good, but once is migrated to hp the performance tunables are going to have to be made on the go.

Regards,

jaime.
