Re: [squid-users] Squid memory usage

Hello,

since I changed the configuration
memory usage is growing slowy.

Now squid is using 17% of 4GB

Eliezer, I am not sure to understand. But I am using two VM,
active/passive setup with a corosync VIP.

I will consider upgrading one member of the cluster to 3.1.20 (squeeze
packages). DO you think this will sole the issue ?

Regards,
