Re: [squid-users] Squid fails

Amos,

I rebuilt squid:

Squid Cache: Version 3.0.STABLE12
configure options: '--prefix=/usr/local/squid'
'--sysconfdir=/etc/squid' '--enable-delay-pools'
'--enable-kill-parent-hack' '--disable-htcp'
'--enable-default-err-language=Spanish' '--enable-linux-netfilter'
'--disable-ident-lookups' '--disable-internal-dns'
'--localstatedir=/var/log/squid' '--enable-stacktraces'
'--with-default-user=proxy' '--with-large-files'

I added disable internal dns and squid has being working fine. Its being
working for about 2 days without a crash where the previous built only
worked for a couple of hours and then crash.

Is it ok to run it like this even though is performing better than it was?
