Re-posting to get some HELP :/

JEU

Hi, i need some clue on why Squid complains about dnsserver processes busy and asks to rise them, i already have dns_children setting at (32), which i believe its the maximum value for that parameter. No sense on Warnings over the cache.log to rise them up isn't?

I guess there is about 400 simultaneous clients (or so), and my state table is around 30000 usually (setted to 50000).

Hello all, i've used pfsense for some time now (mainly for proxy filtering), is installed over HDD, and i've configured squid to do logrotation every twelve hours (on crontab). Is working fine until now, but i don't know how to rotate squidguard's logs. Block.log is getting bigger (about 4 Gb no i guess) and i wish to rotate it. Any help?

Thks in advance.

My mistake. What about log rotation on squidGuard Block.log?

The info asked :)

pfSense version: 1.2.2
Squid package version: 2.6.21_10
squidGuard package version: 1.3-2

Are you running a caching DNS server on the pfSense host? If not I'd recommend one since it looks like your problem relates to the speed of response from your DNS server.

No i'm not, do you mean with tiny dns? or with some parameter on dns-forwarder in pfsense or so? any link that i can look at?
Btw, no clue about squidguard's log rotation?

Thks for answering me :)

What about it - you didn't ask a question.

It was hidden in the first post ;)

No idea about log rotation in SquidGuard.

As for DNS, probably TinyDNS is an option but I've never used it so can't say.

All right, thks again :)
