Hi Alex, Thanks for the confirmation. I just added the -n squid80, etc to SQUID_OPTS, now it restart just fine! I will wait until tomorrow to see if all squid instances have all the workers, but reading for post it should be solved for sure! Yes, i can optimize the config using ${service_name}, probably just one config would be enought. I totally miss: Squid-3.5 provides the -n command line option to configure a unique service name for each Squid instance started. Each set of SMP-aware processes will interact only with other processes using the same service name. A service name is always present, the default service name is squid is used when the -n option is absent from the command line. Thanks both of you to point me the direction.
