Hello we have since long ago using a Squid cache (Version 2.2.Stable5) with no problem on a 512MB RAM machine for our network. After using an other http gateway virusscanner we get problems with squid trying to get even relly big files first into memory before transfer it to the clients. This lead to a squid process using all available memory until it is killed by the OS if we try to download files excceding the RAM size (~500MB). We have set the following parameters : cache_mem 32 MB maximum_object_size 200000 KB cache_dir /var/squid/cache 2000 16 256 memory_pools off Is this expected behavior? Would upgrad to the latest squid version help? Some parameters to set? Something the virusscanner doing nasty? The chain is clients -> squid -> virusscanner ----> internet. With the old viruswall from TrendMicro we could download files much bigger than this without trouble. Thanxs for any help. Regards Andreas
