[squid-users] connection reset by peer. Read error 104

[R Pradeepa]

We are using squid proxy on a Redhat 7.2 . We are connected to the
internet thro cisco router. Policy based routing has been recently
implemented for VPN.

Our clients receive the error "Read Error (104) Connection reset by
peer" often when accessing most common sites through the squid proxy.
During this time, however, a few sites are accessible by the same
client.

We have also observed that during such times, we are not able to access
some sites from the machines directly connected to the internet (ie,
without using proxy). But we are still able to ping those sites.
This problem occurs especially during heavy traffic and gets solved by
itself after a few minutes.

Can anyone please help us sort this problem?
Thanks in advance.

there is nothing to wrong with Squid or cache you have
some link cohcking problem or have some ACL on your
VPN router. r u using policy based routing for port 80
traffic redirecting or using wccp etccc..

For such strange description I would guess there is a upstream
proxy/firewall who gets overloaded.

If it was only Squid who experienced problems then my first guess would
be that you may need to look into the "Platform dependend wierdnesses"
section in the Squid FAQ.
