There is three condiditons for items to be deleted from the cache:

No brainer.
2. Removed by the removal policy to make room for new objects when the
cache is full.

Again, no brainer.
3. Expired and not used in quite a while.

? If it has "expired"? It seems that SuSE's 9.1 default
evict line (uncommented in the config file) is
refresh_pattern . 0 20% 4320
That means everything expires after around 72 minutes?
So what is meant by "not used in a while". I.e how long is
a "while"? Is that a configurable in the config file somewhere that
I missed? I guess I thought squid kept things around "forever", until
it needed space... ???
Thanks for the time for answering...I find it enlightening.
BTW -- I may have a distorted sense of time, but it seems like squid3 has
been in pre-release beta for a year or more...? Any thoughts on when it
might be considered "non-beta" (I've been using it for at least a year
or more, if memory serves me....but it sometimes doesn't :-)) and it
seems fairly solid (knock on wood).
