Since you upgraded from version 2.5 to 2.6, your squid.conf must have changed too. Do you have a local caching DNS server running in your Squid box?

Posting your squid.conf and output of "squidclient mgr:info" and "squid -v" might help.

If you have large ACLs, then squid might be busy processing them rather than serving web requests!

Are you running Squid transparently and do you also have parent caches?

What does cache.log say?

Maybe upgrading to the latest stable version of Squid might help?

Check out the URL below:

Thanking you...
