overide-expire can only extend the freshness, not cut it short. The max age (and percentage) is only used in heuristic freshness calculation based on Last-Modified, not when there is an explicit freshness set by the origin. It is not hard to extend Squid to be able to limit freshness to the max age even when an explicit freshness is set by the origin. Regards Henrik
