No, I don't recommend you doing that. allowing misses meane allowing fetching of files that are not in cache directory, which is used for child proxies - siblings should be only allowed to fetch content that is already in cache. > miss_access allow proxy1.example.com > miss_access allow proxy2.example.com > miss_access allow proxy2.example.com > miss_access allow manager > miss_access deny all However you should allow fetching misses to your clients/users. Otherwise they won't be allowed to access pages that are not already in cache(s). -- Matus UHLAR - fantomas, uhlar@xxxxxxxxxxx ; http://www.fantomas.sk/ Warning: I wish NOT to receive e-mail advertising to this address.
