Hi We have a problem with Squid, every 2/3 days we are forced to restart the demon. Strangely the daemon begins to answer slowly to the demands for navigation until arriving has timeout. The demon works regularly, but then during the day it begins to answer slowly until not giving back no page giving back a Time-out message. We kill the daemon and restart squid with -D option and works fine for other 2 days. I've seen that the squid fail to resolve the addresses by internal DNS definition. I've tried to use the resolv.conf or change DNS servers, but it has not resolved the problem. I've mistaken something in the configuration or I have determine the proportions in wrong way mine squid? Our squid run on a linux 2.4.29 with the follow hw: 1 CPU P4 2.8GHz 1GB RAM 80GB Sata Below the our configuration of squid: http_port srv-proxy:1428 icp_port 0 snmp_port 0 cache_mgr network@xxxxxxxxx cache_effective_user nobody cache_effective_group nogroup cache_mem 128 MB high_memory_warning 256 MB cache_dir ufs /var/spool/squid 10240 16 256 maximum_object_size 8192 Kb #mimum_object_size 1 Kb maximum_object_size_in_memory 100 Kb cache_replacement_policy heap LRU memory_replacement_policy heap LRU cache_swap_low 85 cache_swap_high 90 cache_access_log /var/log/squid/access.log cache_log /var/log/squid/cache.log cache_store_log /var/log/squid/store.log pid_filename /var/run/squid.pid icon_directory /usr/share/squid/icons error_directory /usr/share/squid/errors/Italian coredump_dir /var/spool/squid logfile_rotate 7 emulate_httpd_log on visible_hostname Proxy forwarded_for off refresh_pattern ^ftp: 1440 20% 10080 refresh_pattern ^gopher: 1440 0% 1440 refresh_pattern . 0 20% 4320 #ftp_user network@xxxxxxxxx ftp_passive on ie_refresh on dns_nameservers 213.140.2.12 213.140.2.21 log_fqdn off log_ip_on_direct on Andrea
