Thanks everyone for your reply. I went through all these docs and also compiled squid with dmalloc option and disabled memory_pool. Squid memory usage grows upto 12GB+ and squid stops responding when we try to rotate logs using squid -k rotate. I want squid up and running all the time even if its memory usage grows double the allocate cache_mem value.
