Hi Squid Gurus, Had a quick question on tcp failures with cache_peers and squid. 2008/08/04 13:37:48| TCP connection to 10.1.1.2/80 failed 2008/08/04 13:37:48| Detected REVIVED Parent: 10.1.1.2 Here is my scenario: I am using squid as a reverse proxy. If my origin misbehaves (response time starts to slow), squid creates a backlog, and cpu spikes to 100%. I get the errors above. This every once in a great while, and I usually have to restart squid to recover. Questions I have are: When tcp connections fail to cache peer does squid mark it down for x amount of time before it retries. If there is a default retry interval, what is that, and can that be adjusted? What I am trying to avoid is cache_peer being marked down by squid for 5 seconds, and then resulting in a greater backlog of connections. My timeout for server side connections is 10 seconds. I also use the following options as I heard this will help mark things up a little faster. monitorinterval=60 monitorurl=http://mysite/hi.jpg monitortimeout=180 (does changing monitorinterval in 1 second in this scenario help?) The main goal is to try to get squid to behave as normal as possible, and recover as fast as possible in the event of a connection backlog. Any help or suggestions are much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
