Hello all! I have a strange problem with squid. I use squid not for caching, but for control with squidGuard, manage two links using tcp_outgoing_address and control traffic with delay_pool. Because of a known bug in 2.6 versions I couldn?t use the delay pool since I use reconfigure from time to time and in 3.0 it?s working fine, but every time I use reconfigure the ?Total memory in arena? increases 300k aprox (also noted using top and ps), in a few hours the memory is all used up and it stars to use swap. I have servers using 3.0STABLE1, stable5 and stable8 and it happens in all of them. The main reason for using the squid -k reconfigure is that I have users logging in and out all day long (and night sometimes) and I need reload the squidguard. I?ve read in this list that I can use just squid ?k rotate, but sometimes I need to reconfigure because of changes in the internet address (for tcp_outgoing_address) or rules for delay_pool. My question is why the memory increases in every reconfigure? I?ve already disables delay_pools, tcp_outgoing_address, squidguard and any created acls and the problem persists. Below is my squid.conf and spec of one of my server. Any help is appreciate.
