Dear All,
I am quite new to FreeBSD in general. I need some help and suggestions from you guys.
I have squid proxy server running on a FreeBSD-6.1 (amd) box. I have been facing this problem for sometime now. It's related to mbufs. For some reasons, my mbufs usage is extremely high. This high mbufs usage causes slow responses from Squid and in rare occasions, it even causes my server to reboot.
This FreeBSD squid box serves about 3000-4000 users.
Server specs are:
Dell 430 Intel(R) Pentium(R) D CPU 3.00GHz-Dual CPU
real memory = 2145959936 (2046 MB)
bge0: <Broadcom BCM5751 Gigabit Ethernet

options HZ=1000 #Polling Enabled
Note: Running IPFW. Also my other FreeBSD-4.x servers don't seem to suffer from this problem. They have almost the same IPFW, Squid and Sysctl configs.
Any ideas and suggestions will be highly appreciated.
Thanking you...
