Ya. I tired killing PID file also, but it didn't help. I will take output of strace -p pid and send it to forum. What else should I check?

This is strange. Squid doesn't define where traffic gets routed to, it's a task for the operating system... in such occurrences, can you determine what squid is doing (for instance by attaching to the process via "strace -p <pid>")? > I couldn't even shutdown squid daemon manually.

If neither works it means that the OS has put squid in an unstoppable state, which is pretty weird and usually only happens in case of NFS timeouts...
