Improving caching services for rural area users

[Jaime Torres <jtorres@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I'm working for a rural development project in Lima, Peru (South 
America). We have been using a transparent proxy/caching server for 
several months with great results.

As you may already know/suppose broadband connections are not available 
at rural areas in this country so the bandwidth management is a key 
factor for the users experience in the community telecentres.

I'm looking for a way to drastically improve the caching service so that 
we can have local copies of as many content as we can, even overriding 
HTTP headers and sacrificing some up to date contents/objects. How can 
we force Squid to cache as much as content as possible?

Best regards,
JT
