This does not look normal to me. 3000 connections to a parent is a huge amount and should in principle only be seen if your proxy is processing more than 3000 concurrent requests which I doubt is the case. But there is one Squid-2.5 patch published yesterday which may help you if you have clients doing a lot of POST requests. See http://www.squid-cache.org/Versions/v2/2.5/bugs/ Another thing you can try is to disable the server-side persistent connections. If you have a parent proxy with fast connectivity between your proxy and the parent the benefit of server-side persistent connections is quite small. server_persistent_connections off Regards Henrik
