Hi Henrik, since you say so, I have rather been toying with the idea of saving these supposedly expired objects in an apache document root and using the url_rewrite of the squid to fetch the objects from my apache server. I hope the bandwidth savings will justify the bandwidth cost in repopulating the apache with these objects. Its about bandwidth!
