Hmm, sure this is an error? not a warning? It sound to me like a little maintenance needs doing on that file. - Duplicates can be removed. - 'example.com can' be removed if you have '.example.com' elsewhere. - 'www.example.com' can be removed if you have '.example.com' elsewhere. Sounds like the last of these two are what you are being warned about. If your still having trouble you can email me the file and I'll check it myself. > Does anyone > use spyware, porn, and chat rejections, and if so where did you obtain > them? > Also, i'm wondering why my cache isn't clearing out the oldest items, > is > my cache replacement policy bad? Quite possibly, my squid expertise doesn't extend into the replacement policies, yet.
