Squid probably isn't the tool to do this right. Its a good web cache, but its only really good at saving pages. Literally blowing away the squid cache is a time-consuming process. Its designed around being long-lived, and it usually contains in the order of a few thousand files that need to be unlinked. For a small cache. Also, since to force caching of pages you'd have to force the cache to ignore if-modified-since headers and date heders, you lose the normal method to expire an object from the cache. Using a database of some kind is probably a more flexible idea, and more possible to implement sanely. -Peter -- The 5 year plan: In five years we'll make up another plan.
