I am thinking of it like in "iptable terms". Assume iptable finds a certain type of package and I placed a rule e.g. "-A eth0_input -p tcp --sport 993 -j ACCEPT" the packet is let through without further bothering anything, it is basically handed on and if this is a router, its handed over to the next interface with NO file on disk, not logged ... no trace whatsoever. So, if I as a system administrator, dont care about media packages (radio) and everyone listens to different radio station anyway * I like people who smile at work and hum to their music ;-) * I have ample bandwith * caching of packages that are not used again is useless * logging is useless because I am really not interested seeing them in the logs because I can "hear" them anyway ;-) so all I want squid to just simply accept it without doing anything to it "aka -j ACCEPT", not even logging it. Hence my question(s). Jobst -- Student to Teacher: Sir, what's an oxymoron? ....
