Client web pages very slow to load. Squid issue?
Hi.

I have netBSD box acting as gateway, ftp, mail & web server, etc. It is now seven years old and has never missed a beat. The only problem is that the (Windows) boxes in my little network are now experiencing VERY slow web page loads.

The other problem is that in the years since a Unix guru friend set the system up for me he has become unavailable for help, and I've forgotten 99% of the Unix stuff I learned back then.

So, my question is whether Squid may be the issue here. Like, is it possible that it's cache has grown too large? Is there some maintenance that I should be doing? Any tips on determining whether it is even Squid that is the cause of the issue?

I know you'll probably need some precice version and config info - just say the word and I'll provide it the best I can.

Thanking you all in advance.

cachemgr.cgi

cachemgr.cgi(8) 					      System Manager's Manual						   cachemgr.cgi(8)

NAME

       cachemgr.cgi - Squid HTTP proxy manager CGI web interface

SYNOPSIS

       http://your.server/cgi-bin/cachemgr.cgi

DESCRIPTION

       The cache manager ( cachemgr.cgi ) is a CGI utility for displaying statistics about the Squid HTTP proxy process as it runs. The cache man-
       ager is a convenient way to manage the cache and view statistics without logging into the server.

CONFIGURATION

       Configuration examples for many common web servers can be found in the Squid FAQ wiki.  http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq

       ./cachemgr.conf
       /etc/squid/cachemgr.conf
	      The access configuration file defining which Squid servers may be managed via this  cachemgr.cgi	program.  Each	line  specifies  a
	      server:port followed by an optional description

	      The  server  name  may  contain  shell wildcard characters such as *, [] etc.  A quick selection dropdown menu is automatically con-
	      structed from the simple server names.

	      Specifying :port is optional. If not specified then the default proxy port is assumed. :* or :any matches any  port  on  the  target
	      server.

SECURITY

       cachemgr.cgi calls the requested server on the requested port using HTTP and returns a formatted version of the response. To avoid abuse it
       is recommended to configure your web server to restrict access to the cachemgr.cgi program.
