[squid-users] Request_header is too large

Hi comrades am running 2.5STABLE7(transparent) on redhat.Problem is am
seeing many of these messages in the cache.log file
Config 'request_header_max' =20480 bytes
Request_header is too large (XXXXX)
where XXXXX is more than 20480 bytes the default value .
Now seems it's a DOS attack or buffer overflow as from the FAQs.Can you
advise please seems my cache is under stress.
Thanks
Ronny
