If I wanted to prevent it from flushing, would this be a simple matter of remarking out the keyserver address in the ini file?

I use the GUI, so I am not familiar with the CLI, but isnt there a setting for the connection type? in the GUI it is "offline always"

give it a bad hostname or ip address. The pproxy doesn't fallback like the clients do. so point it to microsoft.com and it'll never flush (unless microsoft.com opens a keyserver ;) ).

add this line in the proxyper.ini

[rc564]
minkeyesdone=50000 (or whatever number that will exceed the number you want to hold)
edit- and make sure that the maxkeysdone number exceeds this setting.
You can 'restart' the pproxy by doing a ctrl+break and it should obey this ini change. Restarting the pproxy altogether is the safest bet.
edit2- No, you need to restart to obey this command.

Viz,

Already buffering 100,000 with the max set at 100,001. Still flushes regularly.

Russ-

Seriously, try this to hold up to 50k in the out buffer. This is what I used to hold, but was still able to fetch new work.

[rc564]
logfilekeyblock=pproxyrc5
logfilekeyblockrotation=daily
minkeysready=500
maxkeysready=1000
maxkeysdone=50000
minkeysdone=49999 this line will not let the pproxy flush, unless it exceeds 50k, and even then will only flush down to 49,999

Hi Bleep!

The README says you can still use the Expert mode switch, and buffer up to 200,000 workunits.

".....a ini-setting [rc564]/expertmode...this option is set to 1, the proxy will obey your settings of maxkeysready and minkeysready."

So right under [rc564] put expertmode=1

The pproxy will flush/fetch when the maxkeysdone= limit is reached, or the minkeysready= is below the threshold limit.
Set the minkeysready to something low, so it doesn't cause a signal for more units.

If you change the maxkeysdone to the same as maxkeysready, it shoudn't flush untill it's reached the minkeyready limit, or it's totally out of workunits.

The network is pretty fast, chances are you won't have a problem. but you might end up with a random or two, if a client happens to try and connect at that exact time the pproxy is out of workunits.
