Means the backend server which is the visible cache for your clients queries the frontend caches. So you could set up one with the minimum_object_size 2048 KB maximum_object_size 512000 KB what means this one will not store on disks any objects less then 2MB and not larger the 512MB the other you configure maximum_object_size 2048 KB Then with the proper cache_peer settings the backend server should get icp replies about what each has on disk and so you can have e fast rotating content on the small object cache and slow rotating large objects on the other. So you may set something like this cache_peer large_object_ip 8080 3130 parent proxy-only (for not storing the files again) cache_peer small_object_ip 8080 3130 parent Depending on your client-number and/or network size you may use a backend server without caching anything setting both peers to proxy only and a null cache_dir if the three are talking fast enought between them You may consider tweaking the quick_abort values on the large_object cache also and sure you need to set refresh_patterns to your convinience. You should set always_direct and never_direct in order to make this combination work good. With such setups which are easy and cheap we get considerable impacts on bandwidth reduction, sometimes you need to look at the trio some days to get the best out of it. Like one said before the small_object cache do not need to be so big and it may even be bad but you may consider some GB as base number or whatever your network pushes in 10 - 20 days but you need to figure it out on your hardware for your network.
