Could you please clarify for me what is the "Long Strings" pool and how
can I manage it's size ?
After start the largest consuming pool is the mem_node one, but it
usually stops increasing after a few days (somewhere around the
cache_memory border - don't know if it's it, or just a coincedence).
"Long Strings", however, keep raising and raising, and after some days
it becomes the largest one.

I'm using the following settings:
cache_mem 512 MB
cache_dir diskd /var/squid/cache 1100 16 256

after few days SNMP reports that the clients amount is around 1700.

Thanks.
Eugene.
