too many pinger processes - High CPU Load

[juliocbc]

Squid is spawning too many pinger processes:

Code Select Expand

root@firewall:~ # ps fax | grep -w pinger | wc -l
     126

Is there a way to limit the number of processes?

Maybe this can be helpful: http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/config/netdb_high/

Someone with experience tuning it?

I'll try...

No luck!

Anyone with the same problem?
