Hi Martin I have been wondering what was going on because squid just seems to be passing the requests straight through to apache everytime and not actually serving it out of its cache. I thought it is just because I haven't configured it correctly as I thought from what I have read that it was supposed to. I even found this http://www.zope.org/Members/htrd/howto/squid which outlines how to set squid up to be a caching server for zope. I have tried removing the no_cache line for ? but haven't had much luck yet in getting squid to serve from the cache.
I did come across mod_accel and it sounded really good but the only documentation I found was a partly completed translation from the original russian that didn't give me a lot of confidence that it would be something easy to get working. Also it didn't appear to be available as a debian module, so I thought I would I would try squid instead. Is it hard to set up mod_accel? I would have preffered to just have used an apache solution but mod_proxy didn't seem to be able to do it and mod_accel looked like it would be difficult. Squid however has proved to be anything but easy so far so I will have another look at mod_accel if it works. Any pointers you have in getting it working would be much appreciated.
