The web server is IIS 6.

1)  Would there be any reason why it would return the full object when in fact 
the object has not been modified?
2)  If the min age guarantees freshness of the object, why would Squid actually 
issue and IMS request to the web server in the first place?  As I understand 
it, Squid should only issue and IMS request when objects become STALE.  As 
such, I would have expected Squid to return TCP_HIT instead of TCP_REFRESH_MISS.
3)  My big concern is that the store.log shows that the object was released 
(deleted) from cache well before the min age while there is still and abundant 
amount of disk space is available.

Also, one other question:

When Squid issues and IMS request, which date does it use?  Is it the date/time 
that it retrieved the object or is it the Last Modified date/time of the object 
ascertained by Squid on first retrieval of the object?

The cache (i.e. Squid) performed a conditional request to the origin web
server, and the web server returned a new 200 OK object with full
content instead of a small 304 Not Modified.
