I'm using squid with a parent that's over a VPN. This VPN occasionally times out or goes down; I'm having difficulty deducing which, but theoretically my scripts should reboot it whenever the VPN goes up so I suspect the former. The end result is that my downstream squid occasionally decides to return nothing but 404's ever again until manually restarted. I'm having to watch it like a hawk and can't keep that up all Christmas. If it would just reopen the interface on its own, all would be well. Is there any way to make it deal with this condition gracefully instead of flipping out?
