Gr8 ..:D.After doing this the cpu utilization has come down to around 3% to 4%. even my Number of clients accessing cache: reached 1567 in no time and was still incerasing but Like Tek Bahadur said i ran out of file descriptors :(. So i ll now recompile squid the way i just saw on one of the mailing list and let you guys know what happened. But the issue is my bl-porn.conf has only 3214 lines and i really need them. Is there any other way i can do it without stressing the CPU ? >>could you show the output of these commands? >>unset http_proxy >>time wget http://www.us.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.9.tar.gz >>time wget http://www.in.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.9.tar.gz Well i do not have wget installed on my proxy so i did a `ssh -D 1080 [EMAIL PROTECTED] -fN` from one of my servers . i had squid shutdown coz it was giving a lot of warnings . This is what i get when i wget a file 48.8 Mb in 7min 46 sec --- from India (.83 Mbps) 48.8 Mb in 18min 47 sec ---- from US (.34 Mbps) So on a 4 When i am using my local DNS server this is the time it takes: {{ time nslookup froogle.google.com Server: 172.24.2.71 Address: 172.24.2.71#53 Non-authoritative answer: froogle.google.com canonical name = froogle.l.google.com.

Thank all of you :).And please let me know an effective way of using the url_regex. Regards Preetish
