[squid-users] Caching Video Content

Hi,

I am considering implementing Squid as my web cache for Video streams
(YouTube etc).
I am going to configure Squid over SAN centralized storage.
I am aware of the additional plug-in required to "normalize" YouTube URL's.
I have few questions:
1) Are there any example installations of Squid as Video oriented cache server?
2) If I implement Squid peering (either digest or ICAP), how does
Squid solves "popular object" problem, when one cache within the
cluster serves the most popular movie. As far as I understand, in this
case all requests for that movie would be served from one particular
server; this will cause overloading of that server.
3) Are there any limitations / recommendations for maximal storage
size that has many separate physical disks?
4) Are there any limitations regarding maximal cached object size?

Thank you,
Dror
