Thanks, storeurl_rewrite works. Of course, I shouldn't have chomped the newline in the first place :) Now, I'm trying to investigate failure and recovery properties of Squid 2.7 STABLE9 relative to Squid 2.4: Specifically, Squid 2.4 cbdata.c memory management sometimes crashed under high load, apparently due to: http://www.squid-cache.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=761: assertion failed: cbdata.c:249: "c->locks > 0" w/diskd This bug appears on and off in Bugzilla, seems to be partially fixed in: http://www.squid-cache.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/squid/src/fs/diskd/store_io_diskd.c.diff?r1=1.37&r2=1.38 and http://bugs.squid-cache.org/attachment.cgi?id=1604, - then reappears differently. Any insight on this issue? Another issue with Squid 2.x as parent cache: after failure/restart, while rebuilding, it opens edge sockets, but it does not serve edge requests until rebuilding is finished. This seems to be fixed in Squid 3: http://bugs.squid-cache.org/show_bug.cgi?id=513 -- How about Squid 2.7? And finally, any insight from the community on the failure/restart recovery speed of 2.7 vs 2.4? How long it takes to rebuild, say, 80% full 16TB drive? More or less than 15 minutes?
