[squid-users] HELP!!! Squid stops accepting connections

Hello list!

Since four weeks our Squid proxy stops accepting further connections once a
week although Squid is running!
I can't see any hints in various log files (access.log, cache.log,
messages).
We use Squid 2.3Stable5 with Slackware 7.0.0 and kernel 2.2.19.
Squid is patched for use with WebWasher EE 3.2.

There were about 700 to 1200 concurrent connections established when squid
stopped accepting any connections.

The problem is: I cannot see if it is a squid or an OS problem!

Today squid stopped accepting connections again and we used the time to
upgrade to WebWasher EE 3.3.

Has anyone a clue?

It is very important for us to find a solution, because our customer isn't
amused about that kind of failures!

Regards,
Ren� Mewi�en
