[squid-users] No Buffer Space Available (FreeBSD)

Hello,

Our web server has been up + running fine for a few days now, but we're
starting to get complaints from users who keep seeing this error:

> (55) No buffer space available
> Squid is unable to create a TCP socket, presumably due to excessive load.
> Please retry your request.

I've done some searching around the net and it appears to be common amongst
FreeBSD users, despite increasing buffers/clusters (see below)

Any help guys ?

We're using:

FreeBSD 4.4-RELEASE
Squid-2.4.STABLE6 in Accelerator mode.
Apache 1.3.22
Mod_Perl 1.26

Netstat -mb yields:

$ netstat -mb
66/128/16384 mbufs in use (current/peak/max):
        66 mbufs allocated to data
65/120/4096 mbuf clusters in use (current/peak/max)
272 Kbytes allocated to network (2% of mb_map in use)
0 requests for memory denied
0 requests for memory delayed
0 calls to protocol drain routines
