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. > > Memory usage for squid via mallinfo(): > > Total in use: 969957 KB 100% > > Memory accounted for: > > Total accounted: 7415 KB > > This does not look good... > It is down to using about 8mb now. > > Which exact Squid version is this? > 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.
