First of all, thanks for all of your replies.

David, and all the others,
does that mean that upgrading to linux 2.0.(>31) will fix the problem? I don´t care if the problem is within the squid or linux code, but I have to find a solution. BUT remember: Someone (sorry I lost the name) wrote on this list he had the same problem (loosing TCP connection to his parent cache) on a svr4 machine, not linux! And also to mention: I´m not talking about the famous "operation already in progress" bug (yes, I have this one too, and yes, I can live with that, at least for now).

Upgrading all linux boxes would take me at least a day, but I´m willing to do it if chances are that it will fix the problem.

Is there anybody who could affirm this? I mean, who had the lost TCP connections before upgrading, and solved it by upgrading to linux 2.0.31++ ?

Again, thanks for any hint or comment.

PS: Would this linux upgrade also solve the "operation already in progress" problems?
