Hi all,
i'm rather new to squid so sorry if some of my questions sound a bit
dumb. I already read a lot about reverse proxy/caching with squid and
i'm sure squid is the right thing for my project.
My setup is a 2-server setup with one server with squid installed
beeing the proxy-server for a dynamic website delivered from server 2
using apache/php/mysql. The Website on server 2 is a news-style
website. Therefore the content isn't too dynamic making not only
graphics and css files cachable but also the news items itself.
For testing purposes i setup a small script and some dns stuff so that
dyn.testdomain.com resolves to the public ip of server 2
stat.testdomain.com resolves to the public ip of server 1 (squid)
The test script just contains a little php for the header (to set
expire, modified and stuff) and an output of the actual time to let me
see if it's fetched from server 2 or the cache.
After setting up everything i found to be important the basic proxy
stuff works apart from the caching and expiry stuff. It seems like
squid is fetching the original content whenever i reload the browser.
I've also already set refresh_pattern to match php files and override
the expiry set in the script and ignore reloads but unfortunately this
doesn't help. Here's what my squid conf looks like:
(below you'll find the php script i use for testing)

Any help is appreciated.
