[plug] Squid error 113 no route to host

[John Breen]

Sounds like it might be related to the bandwidth of your connection.  That
is, too many requests are happening over the connection at once, and it
can't handle the amount of data.

Effectively, SQUID isn't finding the site within a short enough time.  You
can probably get around it by getting more bandwidth.

Just a guess though.

Cheers,


John

	It only happens when there are quite a few people accessing the 'net
at once
	(say over 10 or 15).  During these times it appears for most sites
that
	aren't already cached by squid.  During "quieter" periods it doesn't
occur.
