On redhat linux 9.0 when squid is running in
transparent proxy mode there are some unknown
ipaddresses which are contacting the pc on which squid
is running and henceforth the performance of squid
degrades to a great extent.The way on which this was
identified was by the netstat command. also the
process monitor shows a extensive increase in the use
of cpu time cycles. is this a security bug or the
resources in which squid is running is not enough. the
resource on which squid is running is given below

cpu clock speed:-866MHZ
RAM:-512MB
Swap space:-1GB
Hard disk space:-10GB
