Finally! now have pages being cached by squid. Squid appears to just pass everything straight through to apache unless you tell it specifically to cache the page. So we can now just add headers to the pages that we want to be cached. We can now handle our previous maximum load with ease getting 7 pages a second with a 4 second response time verse 1.68 pages per second with and 18 second reponse time for the same test. I will write all this up in good howto and post it to the list and put it on the wilderness docs site by the end of the week.
