I've been working on using Squid as an image cache for images that
really won't change very often but do have dynamic-looking addresses
(large querystrings). I've been able to get Squid to cache these
images in memory, so if I do a fresh pageload from Opera or Safari, I
get a TCP_MEM_HIT, which is fantastic, but when I reload the page, I
get a TCP_REFRESH_MISS, which is not so great. I know that the browser
is specifying that this is a reload so it'll get the cache to re-cache
the image, but I really don't want this to happen - actually hitting
the images is a very expensive operation, since they're generated. How
can I get squid to ignore browser refreshes and just serve everything
as if it was a new request? Ideally images will live in the cache
almost forever and always be served from the cache. My squid.conf is
below.
Thanks!

hmm, your website domain name is "209.20.72.110". Thats not very good.

Will never happen, the '.' pattern is matched first/above.
Move this to the top of the refresh_patterns list. And check that the
pattern does not match anything unwanted.
