Package: squid
Version: 2.5.10-3
Severity: important

I have Squid working as a HTTP accelerator, with squid.conf settings like
this:

  httpd_accel_host 127.0.0.1
  httpd_accel_port 8008
  httpd_accel_single_host off
  httpd_accel_uses_host_header on
  redirect_rewrites_host_header off
  pipeline_prefetch off

If I set “httpd_accel_single_host on”, Squid suddenly starts acting more
or less like a forkbomb -- for every request in a persistent connection,
it opens up a new socket to Apache instead of continuing in the
connection it already has open, leading to hundreds of Apache children
being spawned for a single persistent connection with many requests.
Setting it to off (as in the example above) fixes the problem.
