High traffic on Nginx-Webservers !!

[shahzaib shahzaib]

Mex, That's a high amount of reduction in load-avg than :). Could you
please refer me to some guide to start with nginx-cache ? And also it's
drawbacks if i put the wrong configs ?

As we're handling 18000 visitors concurrently on cluster of 5 webservers,
which makes it 3600 concurrent users per server by dividing it with the 5.
