We are using Squid 2.6STABLE18 for Windows. The performance is so bad. Here is some of weird things on log file, I don't have any idea of them. 2008/02/28 11:17:38| comm_select: select failure: (10038) WSAENOTSOCK, Socket operation on nonsocket. 2008/02/28 11:17:38| Select loop Error. Retry 10 FATAL: Select Loop failed! Squid Cache (Version 2.6.STABLE18): Terminated abnormally. CPU Usage: 106.922 seconds = 35.922 user + 71.000 sys Maximum Resident Size: 41444 KB Page faults with physical i/o: 12269 These errors only happen when there is many users are accessing the Squid. These errors didb't happen when I just using one instance and do load balancing by separating tcp_outgoing_address on Squid Main based on odd or even clients source address, I'm not satisfied with this load balancing method.

And what the error actually says? Amos -- Please use Squid 2.6STABLE17+ or 3.0STABLE1+ There are serious security advisories out on all earlier releases.
