Steve,

The first error seems to suggest that the DNS queries are not being answered
or are timing out. You will need to check the load on your DNS server and
how reachable it is by your Squid box.

The second one is nothing to worry about...it is coming from your accessing
the squid statistics through the webmin interface.

Ralph,

Thanks for the quick reply!
I'm getting the following errors:

idnsCheckQueue: ID xxxx giving up after 20 tries ---- getting lots of
these
CACHEMGR: <unknown>@127.0.0.1 requesting '5min'

as well as some TCP Connection to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/xx failed.

There are no squid related messages echoed to the screen when I start it.

Thanks
Steve

Check the cache.log and see what errors are being logged. This should shade
some light on the "corruption" at hand.
When squid is started it runs an integrity check on the objects in
cache...is it echoing any error messages during startup? You may also want
to check that there is still space for cache growth.

Subject: [squid-users] Corrupted Cache

I've become the de-facto administrator for our 3 Web Cache (squid) servers.

Each server is running Version 2.3.STABLE4. All of a sudden we are
experiencing significant delays accessing the internet, and I'm being told
this is caused by "corrupted cache files" which need to be un-corrupted (by
me). Our T1
connection to the internet is good.

After doing multiple searches on the web, as well as in the FAQ secion, I've
been unable to find the command(s) to uncorrupt the cache without completely
deleting the cachefiles and starting Squid with a -z parameter. I want to
retain as much as the cache info as possible, just in an uncorrupted format.

Also, if you can suggest any OTHER things I should check, I'd be most
appreciative.

Thanks in advance!
