Thanks for the reply's, Mark the F.A.Q link you posted was my first point of call :), I understand I am experiencing a loop, and thanks to the documentation have a better understanding of what they are, I'm just unsure why this only happens when the machine is rebooted. Henrik, I will perform further testing against the redirect rules, however what I am finding strange is that the problem only happens after downtime, to resolve the problem I used an alternative redirect_rules file with the same squid.conf file, and the looping errors go away, The first time this happened we ran the 'alternative' redirect rules for a few days, and then my colleague re-introduced the redirect_rule file that failed on reboot, and restarted squid , shutting down cleanly, and waiting for all processes to die off, the site functioned without error, and no looping errors, until the reboot, then the exact same problem occurred. so in short, we have a redirector that works without error up until the falls out of the farm for a short period of time. Thanks again.
