What's the configuration of the machine? processor, ram, swap, etc...? How many clients are connecting to the cache? There are settings to top of the mem size and swap sizes for cache to keep it from doing this. I can say that I've had squid up for 30+ days at a time and have never had such trouble, but on the same tolken, it's a low volume of hits. -Chris > -----Original Message----- > From: Jaime [SMTP:jaime@snowmoon.com] > Sent: Wednesday, August 25, 1999 9:11 PM > To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org > Subject: Squid & heavy swapping > > A few months ago I installed FreeBSD 2.2.5 (I had the CDs handy), > Squid > 1.1, and the ISC-DHCP server that comes in the 2.2.5 ports collection in > order > to improve one of the buildings in my job's WAN.
