Peter, you should upgrade your squid to latest stable (for many reasons), but mostly because it implements url monitor for cache peers, this method is far more usefull since It checks your apache is working fine, not just the machine is running. eg. cache_peer Y.Y.Y.Y parent 80 0 originserver no-digest weight=3 monitorurl=/someurlcheck.html monitorinterval=10 monitortimeout=2 Regards, Pablo On 6/29/07, Peter Siklosi <peter.siklosi@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:
Hi! I use Squid for years now as loadbalancer and accelerator. Lately our ISP decided to replace the whole IP range we use. To ease transition we were given a two months period in which the old and new IPs are working the same time. As soon as we start using the second IP on our proxy server, and restart squid to bind to the new interface too, squid serves some requests, then decides that the originservers are gone. cache_peers are apache2 webservers so instead of ICP requests they got udp echo requests. They get some UDP packages (checked with tcpdump), but when they disappear, they do not get echo requests, and they wont come back. If I replace the 7 (udp echo) with 0 for ICP port in the cache_peer line, squid works, but do not notice weather the server is up&running or not. I use: Squid 2.6.5 (default Debian/Etch binary) config and log is attached. If I need to provide anything else, please let me know!
