Hello everyone,
I'm new to squid. I think I have it configured to do what I want, but I wanted to run my squid.conf options (pertinent parts only) by more experienced eyes to double-check. I'm running squid (2.7.STABLE7) as a forward proxy on my personal computer, with the sole purpose of caching frequently-used static content from a few specific sites. Nothing else should get cached. Furthermore, once the content is cached, it does not need to be revalidated. Here goes: # List sites to be cached acl cache_us dstdomain a.example.com acl cache_us dstdomain b.example.com # Allow access from my computer only http_access allow localhost http_access deny all # Only cache "cache_us" cache deny !cache_us # Once cached, do not revalidate offline_mode on A couple of questions: * From my scan of the log files, this appears to work. Any reason why it won't work, hidden pitfalls, etc.? * With "offline_mode on," I'm assuming that other cache-tuning options (e.g., max_stale, refresh_pattern, minimum_expiry_time, etc.) are irrelevant; squid will cache matching content once, always fetch it from the cache in the future, and never revalidate it. Right? * How/where are validation requests logged? Thanks in advance.
