[squid-users] Caching of Big objects (bigger than memory limit)

[Pieter De Wit]

Hi List,

From my understanding, Squid will add an object into memory, then page it 
out to disk, as the memory limit get's full. (Barring another 1000 checks 
that I didn't mention :) )

My question is, what will happen with an object that is bigger than 
maximum_object_size_in_memory ?

Here is my setup:

maximum_object_size_in_memory 16 MB
maximum_object_size 1 GB

cache_mem is 512MB

If I request a cachable object of 30meg, what will happen to it ?

Thanks,

Pieter
