Re: [squid-users] more information: squid 2.4.s1 memory usage problem w/solaris 2.6

okay,
i guess i'll wait for my new boxes with more ram then.
sorry for being so pig-headed on a clear comment, but i could not believe
that
squid blows up to TEN times as big as the value in cache_mem is set to,
because
the FAQ only says it can be twice or three times as big.

but anyway, thanks for your input

cache_mem is NOT a limit on how much memory Squid uses. See the Squid
FAQ entry on memory usage.
