With your help, I believe the problem to now be resolved. I ended up deleting and recreated the approved acl. The cache server has now gone 1 hour without any crashes or warnings. Thanks for the assistance, it was truly appreciated. I am still curious if there is a maximum amount of entries for the acl's.

Increasing the Cache size did nothing (I believe this is due to the fact we have caching turned off). Removing the ACLs. I first removed the Deny ACL. I still had the problems. While the Deny ACL was removed, I removed the Approved ACL. It stayed up and running for over 6 hours. However, we are a hospital and our Clinical staff needed to get out the some sites that are approved, so I put the approved ACL back in. Within 2 hours it had crashed and stopped responding. With the above information in mind, is there a theoretical maximum number of entries for the ACL's for Squid to parse? If so, what is the maximum? If not, is there an alternative to the ACL's to give users the ability to get out to approved sites, without Authentication.

So, we should try to isolate the component where is the Squid 3.0 problem. You say that you have 1000 users defined. So this probably means at least 10 - 50 concurrent users using acls and a very small disk cache. So if possible, please make the following test: - Remove any acl. - Increase the cache size at least to 1024 MB. - Make a test reducing the number of concurrent users, for example using another machine.
