[squid-users] Squid on FC6, connections sitting around too long

Trying to figure out how I can reduce connections, sitting around on
my Squid boxes.

I'm still running with both Netcaches and a few Squid boxes and what
I'm seeing in my loadbalancer is that the Netcaches have 50% less
connections at any given time than the Squid boxes. Also the Netcache
(Netapp) is pushing more traffic, so what I'm gathering is that the
Netapp is taking in connections and releasing them faster than the
squid boxes.

I'm wondering if A) how I can diagnose this B), is there Squid
specific settings to handle this (I don't really want to close an
active connection, but absolutely want a connection that has been left
by a client to go away).

Not sure if I should be looking at kernel/network tweaks or something
in my Squid configuration.

Packets Bits Packets Bits Current Max Total
18.5M 21.5G 23.6M 172.0G 737 1.3K 1.2M Squid
21.2M 26.8G 28.8M 199.2G 274 1.3K 1.2M NetCache
21.6M 27.1G 29.5M 206.4G 249 1.3K 1.2M NetCache
18.6M 21.6G 23.7M 172.5G 735 1.2K 1.2M Squid

Shows that the Squid boxes even though the loadbalancer is handing
connections off in a round robin fashion, Squid twice the connection
count as the Netapps.

What pertinent information would you need to throw an idea over?

Thanks
