Hi, Is it possible to stop squid from caching anything for a short period of time? I don't want to do this, but I'm being asked the question. Some guys want to fire requests for websites via the squid server, to the internet at set times during the day. They then want to fire exactly the same requests, but they want an anti-virus / malicious code server (Finjan), sitting in a DMZ, as the next hop after the requests have gone through squid and a firewall. They're doing this to see if the requests take significantly longer with the extra layer of security in the way, so don't want squid to send back already cached pages. If it is possible to stop squid from caching new requests, does it also mean it won't try to send existing cached pages back to the user? I told them I could use squidclient to delete entries from the cache, but they're talking about firing 1,000 URL's at it, which is obviously unmanageable. I don't want to delete the cache as it's 4.5gb. Any help appreciated. Thanks, Ric
