greetings i recently updated my transparent proxy to sq 3.1.9, which also uses squidguard for url filters. this have been bogging down. browser always says ,.." waiting for google,... or waiting for www.abc.com I could have a dns issue or I could have a cache swap issue or a squidguard issue. I first wanted to make sure that running 3.1.9 transparent is the best version for the job. I had read a while back in a thread that v2.7 might be better than 3.1.x. Can anyone confirm ? heres a snap shot of cache.log hook2:bin root# ulimit -n 2048 hook2:bin root# squid -d1x hook2:bin root# 2010/12/07 11:12:34| Starting Squid Cache version 3.1.9 for i686-apple-darwin9.8.0... 2010/12/07 11:12:34| Process ID 5210 2010/12/07 11:12:34| With 2048 file descriptors available 2010/12/07 11:12:34| Initializing IP Cache... 2010/12/07 11:12:34| DNS Socket created at [::], FD 6 2010/12/07 11:12:34| DNS Socket created at 0.0.0.0, FD 7 2010/12/07 11:12:34| Adding domain beth.k12.pa.us from /etc/resolv.conf 2010/12/07 11:12:34| Adding nameserver 8.8.8.8 from /etc/resolv.conf 2010/12/07 11:12:34| Adding nameserver 209.96.96.2 from /etc/resolv.conf 2010/12/07 11:12:34| helperOpenServers: Starting 100/100 'squidGuard' processes 2010/12/07 11:12:35| Unlinkd pipe opened on FD 212 2010/12/07 11:12:35| Store logging disabled 2010/12/07 11:12:35| Swap maxSize 134215680 + 262144 KB, estimated 10344448 objects 2010/12/07 11:12:35| Target number of buckets: 517222 2010/12/07 11:12:35| Using 524288 Store buckets 2010/12/07 11:12:35| Max Mem size: 262144 KB 2010/12/07 11:12:35| Max Swap size: 134215680 KB 2010/12/07 11:12:35| Version 1 of swap file with LFS support detected... 2010/12/07 11:12:35| Rebuilding storage in /Volumes/cache2/cache (CLEAN) 2010/12/07 11:12:35| Version 1 of swap file with LFS support detected... 2010/12/07 11:12:35| Rebuilding storage in /Volumes/cache3/cache (CLEAN) 2010/12/07 11:12:35| Using Least Load store dir selection 2010/12/07 11:12:35| Current Directory is /usr/bin 2010/12/07 11:12:35| Loaded Icons. 2010/12/07 11:12:35| Accepting intercepted HTTP connections at 10.0.2.3:3128, FD 217. 2010/12/07 11:12:35| HTCP Disabled. 2010/12/07 11:12:35| Squid modules loaded: 0 2010/12/07 11:12:35| Ready to serve requests. 2010/12/07 11:12:35| Store rebuilding is 0.12% complete 2010/12/07 11:13:25| Done reading /Volumes/cache3/cache swaplog (3496117 entries) 2010/12/07 11:13:25| Store rebuilding is 99.79% complete 2010/12/07 11:13:25| Done reading /Volumes/cache2/cache swaplog (3510803 entries) 2010/12/07 11:13:25| Finished rebuilding storage from disk. 2010/12/07 11:13:25| 7006920 Entries scanned 2010/12/07 11:13:25| 0 Invalid entries. 2010/12/07 11:13:25| 0 With invalid flags. 2010/12/07 11:13:25| 7006920 Objects loaded. 2010/12/07 11:13:25| 0 Objects expired. 2010/12/07 11:13:25| 0 Objects cancelled. 2010/12/07 11:13:25| 0 Duplicate URLs purged. 2010/12/07 11:13:25| 0 Swapfile clashes avoided. 2010/12/07 11:13:25| Took 50.69 seconds (138218.19 objects/sec). 2010/12/07 11:13:25| Beginning Validation Procedure 2010/12/07 11:13:26| 262144 Entries Validated so far. 2010/12/07 11:13:26| 1310720 Entries Validated so far. 2010/12/07 11:13:26| 1572864 Entries Validated so far. 2010/12/07 11:13:26| 3407872 Entries Validated so far. 2010/12/07 11:13:26| 3670016 Entries Validated so far. 2010/12/07 11:13:26| 4718592 Entries Validated so far. 2010/12/07 11:13:26| 4980736 Entries Validated so far. 2010/12/07 11:13:26| 6291456 Entries Validated so far. 2010/12/07 11:13:26| 6553600 Entries Validated so far. 2010/12/07 11:13:27| 6815744 Entries Validated so far. 2010/12/07 11:13:27| 8388608 Entries Validated so far. 2010/12/07 11:13:27| 8650752 Entries Validated so far. 2010/12/07 11:13:27| 8912896 Entries Validated so far. 2010/12/07 11:13:27| 9699328 Entries Validated so far. 2010/12/07 11:13:27| 9961472 Entries Validated so far. 2010/12/07 11:13:27| 10223616 Entries Validated so far. 2010/12/07 11:13:27| 10485760 Entries Validated so far. 2010/12/07 11:13:27| 10747904 Entries Validated so far. 2010/12/07 11:13:27| 12845056 Entries Validated so far. 2010/12/07 11:13:28| Completed Validation Procedure 2010/12/07 11:13:28| Validated 14013839 Entries 2010/12/07 11:13:28| store_swap_size = 120801068
