Maybe, it's quite strange.

Sorry i haven't give you all details.
In fact, i've got an LVS in front, acting as a TCP/IP load balancer, no
persistent session there, it's a round robin.

Then, TCP request is transmitted to a squid box. This box will answer to
the client directly (DSR or direct routing mode).

I'm just wondering if activate "session" on the LVS to force someone to
join the same squid boxe will help.

System socket or squid related like persistent_request_timeout ?

We've tried on and off on several boxes, no change for now.

I hope too.
I can give the squid conf if needed. :)

Squid box is a VM under Xen.
CPU : 2 vcpus (xen), like 2 cores of an intel Xéon E5430 2.66 Ghz
Memory : 10 Go
Disks : VM storage on a hardware RAID 5 controller.
FS for cache : XFS with noatime,nodev,nosuid,noexec

Under peak, CPU is low : (max is 200%, 100% per core)
idle : 160%
iowait : 30%
system & user : 10%

I hope this will help.

David.
