Trying to figure out how I can reduce connections, sitting around on my Squid boxes. I'm still running with both Netcaches and a few Squid boxes and what I'm seeing in my loadbalancer is that the Netcaches have 50% less connections at any given time than the Squid boxes. Also the Netcache (Netapp) is pushing more traffic, so what I'm gathering is that the Netapp is taking in connections and releasing them faster than the squid boxes. I'm wondering if A) how I can diagnose this B), is there Squid specific settings to handle this (I don't really want to close an active connection, but absolutely want a connection that has been left by a client to go away). Not sure if I should be looking at kernel/network tweaks or something in my Squid configuration.

What pertinent information would you need to throw an idea over? Thanks Tory
