It's a real problem... the machines will start swapping like crazy when they exhaust physical RAM and the servers slow down badly.

I was just reading another thing you wrote and I want to ask:
how many times per minute are you reconfiguring squid by using HUP?
just curios? (reminds me old thing about memory leak and reconfiguring)
