Hi people, i am having this problem:

Examining the cache.log archive, these messages appear:

[root@server squid]# tail -f cache.log
2001/03/13 15:50:39| urlParse: Illegal character in hostname
'xxx.yyy.zzz.uuu:8080xxx.yyy.zzz.uuu'
2001/03/13 15:50:39| urlParse: Illegal character in hostname
'xxx.yyy.zzz.uuu:8080xxx.yyy.zzz.uuu'
2001/03/13 15:50:52| urlParse: Illegal character in hostname
'xxx.yyy.zzz.uuu:8080xxx.yyy.zzz.uuu'
2001/03/13 15:50:52| urlParse: Illegal character in hostname
'xxx.yyy.zzz.uuu:8080xxx.yyy.zzz.uuu'
2001/03/13 15:51:04| urlParse: Illegal character in hostname
'xxx.yyy.zzz.uuu:8080xxx.yyy.zzz.uuu'
2001/03/13 15:51:04| urlParse: Illegal character in hostname
'xxx.yyy.zzz.uuu:8080xxx.yyy.zzz.uuu'
2001/03/13 15:51:16| urlParse: Illegal character in hostname
'xxx.yyy.zzz.uuu:8080xxx.yyy.zzz.uuu'
2001/03/13 15:51:16| urlParse: Illegal character in hostname
'xxx.yyy.zzz.uuu:8080xxx.yyy.zzz.uuu'
2001/03/13 15:51:29| urlParse: Illegal character in hostname
'xxx.yyy.zzz.uuu:8080xxx.yyy.zzz.uuu'

the log is shown exactly as generated, excepting the ip address which i
changed in order to protect privacy...

by the way xx.yyy.zzz.uuu is ip the address of the server running squid, and
8080 is the port.

This has happend at least the last three days... As you can see, these
requests appear at least every ten seconds. I would like to find out which
is the client that makes these requests, but i don't know how to obtain this
info.

I have even executed squid with
debug_options ALL,1

but i cannot find out which is the station that is hammering the server...
or maybe it is a problem in the server?

thanks for your help in advance,

Romeo E. Cabrera.
