Hi all, Using RHEL-3.1 x86, Squid-STABLE9 + Collapsed_Forward patch. I am try to set up squid as a surrogate to my back end server which has an http service running on port 44003. What I' am seeing when multiple requests for the same URI comes in that rather than allow just one or two of the requests to go to the backend. So, using a separate box, I setup multiple wgets (say 20) to request the same URI ... each request initiates a session to the back end. :( Any thoughts about what is wrong with my test or the config or hints about what folks usually goof up when deploying squid as in Accelerator mode. Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions, Ray Here is my squid.conf file ### ### ### http_port 32011 http_port 21100 http_port 44003 httpd_accel_host mybackendexampleserver.com httpd_accel_port 0 httpd_accel_uses_host_header on httpd_accel_with_proxy on # # icp_port 0 cache_mem 128 MB cache_swap_low 90 cache_swap_high 95 maximum_object_size 1024 MB #maximum_object_size_in_memory 100 MB maximum_object_size_in_memory 8 MB ipcache_size 1024 ipcache_low 90 ipcache_high 95 cache_replacement_policy lru memory_replacement_policy lru # # cache_dir ufs /opt/squid/cache 16384 16 256 cache_access_log /opt/log/squid/access.log cache_log /opt/log/squid/cache.log mime_table /opt/squid/etc/mime.conf pid_filename /var/run/squid.pid ######refresh_pattern . 0 20% 10080 refresh_pattern . 10 20% 10080 # # #redirect_rewrites_host_header off #^^^^^^^^^^^^Tried but no differnce # collapsed_forwarding on refresh_stale_hit 0 seconds acl ALL src 0/0 #acl ProxyUsers src 192.168.10.0/24 #acl ProxyUsers src 192.168.0.0/24 acl ProxyUsers src 192.168.0.0/17 acl TheOriginServer dstdomain mybackendexampleserver.com http_access allow ProxyUsers http_access allow TheOriginServer http_access deny ALL acl manager proto cache_object acl localhost src 127.0.0.1/255.255.255.255 acl SSL_ports port 443 563 acl Safe_ports port 80 acl Safe_ports port 443 563 acl Safe_ports port 1025-65535 acl CONNECT method CONNECT acl snmp snmp_community COMTYPASS acl dstbackenddom dstdomain .backenddom.com acl backend-svc dstdomain .backend-svc.com acl dstpriv dstdomain .backendsvc-priv.com http_access allow localhost http_access allow manager localhost http_access allow dstbackenddom http_access allow dstbackend-svc http_access allow dstpriv http_access allow snmp !localhost http_access deny !Safe_ports http_access deny CONNECT !SSL_ports http_access deny all cache_mgr operations@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx cache_effective_user squid cache_effective_group squid logfile_rotate 10 cachemgr_passwd PASSWD shutdown cachemgr_passwd PASSWD info stats/objects cachemgr_passwd disable all icon_directory /opt/squid/share/icons error_directory /opt/squid/share/errors/English snmp_port 3401 snmp_access allow snmp snmp_access deny all uri_whitespace strip strip_query_terms off cache_store_log /opt/log/squid/storage.log no_cache deny CONNECT emulate_httpd_log on __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
