Hi, We seem to be having a strange issue with SQUID caching an object once it has been purged - this issue does not occur with all objects within the cache.. Quick Overview - Four Apache Server with Squid Installed - RedHat 5.7 i386 - squid-3.1.8-1.el5 Issue - Admin sends a Purge request simultaneously to all four server Example 1372113766.459 0 10.10.10.10 TCP_MISS/200 280 PURGE http://www.auckland.ac.nz/uoa/ - NONE/- - - Squid seems to fail on caching the object - All requests are sent to backend servers Server 1 1372113766.459 0 10.10.10.10 TCP_MISS/200 280 PURGE http://www.auckland.ac.nz/uoa/ - NONE/- - 372113766.779 23 10.10.10.3 TCP_MISS/504 5063 GET http://www.auckland.ac.nz/uoa/ -
