Your best bet will be to set cache_mem relatively low (couple hundred megabytes), the max obj size in memory being low (megabyte or two); and rely on OS disk caching. Use Squid-2.6; and read the release notes and FAQ for the directive changes. That replaces the httpd_* lines above that were used for squid-2.5 and earlier. Adrian
