It surely depends on which kind of objects are stored. Assume that half of the objects are cached but each one is just 100 bytes. Then you would have 50% cache hit ratio but perhaps only 0.0001% byte hit ratio. Not every object is cachable. Just use a large disk and if you have multiple proxys then establish a sibling relationship between them. There's not much else you can do. "Tweaking" refresh times surely breaks more applications than it helps you. And if you want to save 95% bandwidth: block porn sites. ;) Regards Christoph -- ~ ~ ~ ".signature" [Modified] 3 lines --100%-- 3,41 All
