Re: [squid-users] is it a DOS attack ??

try and access www.microsoft.com from your squid server, if you ca'nt get
thru, it means microsoft has blocked you out.

if you are getting alot of request to www.microsoft.com without any
user-agent header and request object, some machines using your proxy could
have been infected with mydoom.c virus and tries to flood the website with
requests

try and blocked these request out by denying request that does not have any
user-agent header inside squid.conf
