If there is > no hit then your cache is not doing what its suppose to. Not true. You have to: a) look at the HTTP headers of the returned object to see whether the web site (www.fake-url.com) has allowed these objects to be cached. Some sites don't allow _any_ of their objects to be cached, and by default squid respects that. b) check what your access.log says is actually happening to the suspect URLs, and if the client requested them using an IMS or no-cache type request If you still can't work out why its not being cached, send us a _small_ excerpt of the access.log to us that contains the uncached client requests. And also tell us your refresh_pattern settings out of squid.conf. NB don't change the URLs in access.log - so we can check what the web server is returning too Jifl -- Cygnus Solutions, 35 Cambridge Place, Cambridge, UK.
