Thanks a lot.

As expected, I see Squid connections to C-ICAP starting to time out: 
when the number of errors reach 10, Squid marks squidclamav service as 
"suspended".

No big surprise. Still I don't get any more insight (Is C-ICAP choking? 
Why? What data triggers this?).



Is it a really bad idea to raise icap_connect_timeout?
Same for disabling icap_service_failure_limit?

Other hints?

  bye & Thanks
