I have run a DG/Squid setup for quite some time. I am having problems with slowness. It seems DG has too many processes open. I wanted to test this to remove DG from the mix. DG listens on 8080 and Squid on 3128. I have it set to authenticate users. Since I wanted to test I did the following: 1. Edited squid.conf to listen on 8080 2. Stopped DG 3. Restarted squid 'squid -k reconfigure' After that did not work I even set squid.conf back to listening to port 3128 and had my test client proxy settings changed to 3128 instead of 8080. I even cleared my squid cache out. In both scenarios it seems that the client would intermittently hit the Internet. Most of the times it just gave me the error that I could retrieve the cache (cant recall what it exactly says),. but once in a bit it would pop up with my authtentication and pull a webpage (not very often). I even disabled my IPTABLES for a bit to make sure it was nothing there. I can put my DG back into place and everything works fine, well except for the slowness when all the users get on. Any idea why Squid would not work like that? I did check with netstat and Squid was listening on the port that it should be in both instances.
