Can you try reducing your cache_mem value and observe it for some time. I am also running ES with squid 2.5-10 stable. I increased cache_mem value And my squid started giving me trouble. Now I m using only 512 MB , earlier I was using 700 MB. My total memory in server is 2 gig Thanks - lk -----Original Message----- From: John R.
