Hi, I am using squid as a transparent proxy in my network. I do not need any caching to be done with Squid. My configuration file is set as follows: acl all src 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 no_cache deny all cache_dir null /tmp The process works fine for low load, but under high load I see a surge in t= he memory usage of Squid process. (it goes upto 200MB and beyond till it ge= ts killed). Even if I stop the traffic ,this memory is not restored back to= the system. I even tried setting "memory_pools off". But this does not hel= p to restore the memory. Squid version: 2.5 STABLE 9 cachemgr :info output shows very high Storage Mem size:(about 64MB) I checked the cachemgr :mem output. One parameter of 'mem_node' seems to be= consuming high memory. Since I am not using caching is there someway I can= avoid the usage of high memory in the system using some knob in the squid = configuration?
