I already searched through the archives but couldn't find the right things that helped. >>> >>> refresh_pattern ^ftp: 1440 20% 10080 >>> refresh_pattern ^gopher: 1440 0% 1440 >>> refresh_pattern . 5 75% 15 >>> > > First off, you'll want this line last. It will match anything, and make the > following refresh_patterns superfluous. exactly that did the trick. don't know why i could have overlooked this but it happened. First tests are running great. Thanks! One more question on this topic to help me understand how that refresh_patterns work. There are special URL that contain something like a live ticker. These URLs get reloaded by the users every few seconds. What i want is to have squid cache them for a minute to take the load from the application server. This line baiscally works refresh_pattern -i -live- 1 99% 2 override-expire override-lastmod ignore-reload but unfortunaltey the ignore-reload seems to ignore every reload even if the time set is already run down. Is there any way to ignore reloads but go and get a fresh version from the app server on reload if the TTL is over. Thanks for your help. -- Frank
