[squid-users] Squid & RAM

________________________________________

I am using Squid.2.4.Stable1 over Linux 7.3
With 512 MB RAM 500MHz PIII 9 GB 10000RPM SCSI

My squid is handling around 300 Users in peak times, the problem I am facing is the RAM, when I put the Traffic Load on SQUID it eats all the RAM in about 20 to 40 minutes.

Here is the output of free command.

[root@SQUID etc]# free
���������� ����������� ����������total������ used������ free���� shared��� buffers���� cached
Mem:������ �������� ����������� 514444���� 507920������ 6524��������� 0����� 29044���� 353164
-/+ buffers/cache����������� 125712���� 388732
Swap:����� �������������������� 1124508��������� 0��� 1124508

In such condition users get jerky and very slow response.

I have even tried to set cache_mem 0 MB but it doesn't work.

Any help ?.
Thanks and Regards,

Subtain
