Hello everyone, I'm new to this mailing list, and I have a question about Squid setup. So, here's the setup: We have a load-balanced Apache server, proxying to a load-balanced and peered (round-robin) Squid servers, which caches for a load-balanced app server. We've disabled nocache on the squid server, because we were getting to many nocache requests from I.E. 5 clients. We now need to be able to force a cache refresh for specific URLs (actually, we have headers that contribute to the cache-key also). So, my questions are. 1. With the current set up, will Squid go to our app servers after a Purge, or might they try their peer first? 2. Does having a pragma no-cache force Squid to store the newly retrieved data from the origin server? 3. Is there an easy way to disable no-cache for the general case, but allow a set of IP addresses to request a URL with the no-cache header? 4. And finally, is there a better way to do what I'm trying to do? I've also considered having squid convert no-cache to if-modified-since, but that puts some extra work on our app servers to honor that header appropriately. Thanks, Daniel.
