Re: [squid-users] Question about access log write speed and a possible DOS-attack (client-side)

Wow. What a rookie I've turned out to be. I hadn't even considered
that being the reason for Squid shutting off. Thankfully I haven't hit
that in a very long time. You are correct, both Squids were affected by
their access.log file being 2147483647 (2^31 -1) bytes in size.

Now I'm off to look at the FAQs, etc, on perhaps compiling Squid w/
large-file-access..

Thanks, Henrik, you always come through.
