RE: [squid-users] Multi ISP Load Balancing Problem

We are using Squid 2.6STABLE18 for Windows. The performance is so bad. Here
is some of weird things on log file, I don't have any idea of them.

2008/02/28 11:17:38| comm_select: select failure: (10038) WSAENOTSOCK,
Socket operation on nonsocket.
2008/02/28 11:17:38| Select loop Error. Retry 10
FATAL: Select Loop failed!
Squid Cache (Version 2.6.STABLE18): Terminated abnormally.
CPU Usage: 106.922 seconds = 35.922 user + 71.000 sys
Maximum Resident Size: 41444 KB
Page faults with physical i/o: 12269

These errors only happen when there is many users are accessing the Squid.
These errors didb't happen when I just using one instance and do load
balancing by separating tcp_outgoing_address on Squid Main based on odd or
even clients source address, I'm not satisfied with this load balancing
method.

Best regards,

Any info as to what squid version and release you are using?
And what the error actually says?
