Re: [squid-users] Too many queued redirector requests

Thanx Hendrik
I am running squid on solaris 8, sun enterprise 250
machine. I have more that 500 users connect at peak
hour.
I never got around to configure cachemanager.cgi, I
will look in to that.
I use squidguard to filter porn, and it seems to be
working but it is affecting the servicetime badly. I
run around 20 redirector processes, I have been
increasing constantly.
I deactivated squidguard for a while and I got not
messages, but I need squidGuard to block the porn.
What is redirector bypass and how do i enable it?
