RE: [squid-users] It stopped denying sites!

Resurrecting an old thread.... This box did it again. As of January 15th,
it stopped denying sites again.

What I find really odd, I noticed this time around that it also stopped
writing to access.log and store.log on that same date.

Any ideas why this would be happening? Any info I can provide that would be
of help?
