Silly moi! Curiously I am sure it did function "correctly" for nearly 24 hours before I got the phone call from the better half saying that the net was a mill pond! I remain convinced this was the case because when I installed and tested it the evening before every thing seemed OK. I had verified with SNMP from MRTG (this was the purpose of the exercise) to see some cache hits etc but am wondering now if I was looking at the right thing - BTW it was about 1:00 AM so after factoring that in - who knows what I saw! Regardless, it works now. Perhaps the only thing I can see as a potential improvement to a great package would be for Squid to complain politely if squid.conf looks untouched by human hands! Given this is an open source product when time allows I will look at producing the "patch" myself although I not going to hold my breath! Cheers, Frank.
