Yes, that is exactly what the problem is. I was using the
sa-blacklist-current-domains list. the list itself is only ~2mb or so.

i was using the 2.5.stable6 that comes with fedora core 3. i have since
removed that and am using 2.5.stable11 from fedora's site.

when i reinstalled to the newer version i added on item at a time from
my old squid.conf and restarted squid to see where my problem was. i
don't believe it was in the 2.5.6 version, it was my acl. as i added
that acl back in, my memory usage jumped back to the 1GB mark.

Any idea why that particular acl would do that?

Thanks!
