hello somebody HELP!!!!!!!!!!! I have strange problem with squid , despite the fact I am using squid for more than 3 years, lateley I install squid 2.6 ( on CentOS5 , I used the rpm that come with the distor) in transparent mode , cisco 2811 redirect the packet to squid via wccp2. everything works great till that day when Squid inverse its purpose!!! ( its start to use far more bandwidth than my users do ) you can see the mrtg picturs below ( I put links for them). when my users take 5Mbps squid eat 10Mbps I don't know why. ( the red line is what the users download while the green is what squid download !!! crazy isn't it ) http://img377.imageshack.us/img377/831/1hourjm2.jpg http://img517.imageshack.us/img517/96/24hourbd0.jpg I tried everything . ( disabled the cache and make it work as proxy only, used delay loop , change the distro and change the squid version and even changed the wccp options and version in the router and squid ) but the problem remains . Please help me before losing my job !!! :( Oh the funny part is that cache manager does NOT give me a negative hit rate !!!! I checked that too , I disabled ICP and cache digest , I read all the think thats relate to negative hit rate (although it is not the case). there is nothing funny in squid logs I checked them and there is nothing weird in the /var/log/messages too. I disabled all the services that can be disabled in the system especially anything that can do update. I put a strict firewall rules ( stricts iptables rules ) and strict acl in squid too. As I said I used different disto too ( I used Fedora7 on different server ) and I got the same problem. check for any rootkit , viruses, unusual traffic , The problem that happenned suddently , the only things that works for me is turning squid off but I don't like that one. by the way squid works only as a transparant cache and filter with dansguardian ( I disabled dansguardian and the problem still there and even removed dansguradian ) and before squid there is a gateway server that do all the touch work , BW managment ,authentications ..etc. HEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP blablablabalalb hmmm I tried that too.
