[squid-users] squid stopped responding if internet link is congested

Hi

I am using REDHAT ES 3.0 and running squid 2.5.10 stable on it.
I have 2 internet Links. One Link is fibre ( Primary) and other is
Satellite link(Failover).
Failover link capacity is not much and if Primary goes down, all traffic
get shifted to Failover link. And Failover link get congested.

I noticed when my Primary link goes down, traffic get shifted to
Congested link. Squid open URL slowly, This make sense because link is
congested.
But I also noticed when my primary link comes back up, traffic get
shifted to primary link automatically and squid daemon stopped
responding.
I couldn't even shutdown squid daemon manually. I can ping to internet
from squid server but I can not browse through squid. I have to restart
server to start squid again. What can be the reason of this? Where
should I look into to resolve this problem.

Regards - Lokesh
