Hi Maxim. Properly a newbie question , what do you suggest for the ssl_session_cache setting ? I have tried ssl_session_cache shared:SSL:1m; The box has 24 GB RAM dual Intel 5620 2.4 ghz westmere. So i should have enough processing power .-) Thanks Michael Posted at Nginx Forum: http://forum.nginx.org/read.php?2,181676,181887#msg-181887
