Hi Eleizer, thanks for getting back to me. OK - yes. Its a VMWare virtual machine with 2 interfaces - 1 to outside world, one with the clients on. Its 2 processor, 4GB RAM, Debian wheezy 64bit I can't set it up as router only as it isn't a gateway, and I'm not keen on rejigging the network to test this, but traffic is likely to be ~10-20Mbps when it dies, connections per seconds in the hundreds. 'Kills it' is cpu usage hits 99.8-101% and stays there. And it stops forwarding requests. there is nothing I can see in the logs (3.2 gave a message about file descriptors) I've been through all this before with s squid 3.2 box, and the solution then was file descriptors. I've not set up disk caching on this setup (or at least I haven't got a line setting about disk cache - does it create one by default?). My next thing to try would be adding a disk cache maybe...
