Squid Cache: Version 2.5.STABLE12 and Squid Cache: Version 2.7.STABLE5 I am using following refresh_patterns and never encounter any problem. e.g once I visit a website, on next visit usually squid serves it from cache, and TCP_HIT or TCP_MEM_HIT or TCP_REFRESH_HIT etc are so common in '/var/log/squid/access' But a person(who I beleive is a Linux/Squid Guru) critcize on the refresh_pattern I am using in squid. So please pass your comments and corrections on the following configs #Suggested default: refresh_pattern ^ftp: 1440 20% 10080 refresh_pattern ^gopher: 1440 0% 1440 ####refresh_pattern . 0 20% 4320 refresh_pattern -i \.ico$ 43200 100% 43200 override-lastmod override-expire ignore-reload refresh_pattern -i \.png$ 43200 100% 43200 override-lastmod override-expire ignore-reload refresh_pattern -i \.jpg$ 43200 100% 43200 override-lastmod override-expire ignore-reload refresh_pattern -i \.jpeg$ 43200 100% 43200 override-lastmod override-expire ignore-reload refresh_pattern -i \.pdf$ 43200 100% 43200 override-lastmod override-expire ignore-reload refresh_pattern -i \.zip$ 43200 100% 43200 override-lastmod override-expire ignore-reload refresh_pattern -i \.tar$ 43200 100% 43200 override-lastmod override-expire ignore-reload refresh_pattern -i \.gz$ 43200 100% 43200 override-lastmod override-expire ignore-reload refresh_pattern -i \.tgz$ 43200 100% 43200 override-lastmod override-expire ignore-reload refresh_pattern -i \.exe$ 43200 100% 43200 override-lastmod override-expire ignore-reload refresh_pattern -i \.rpm$ 43200 100% 43200 override-lastmod override-expire ignore-reload refresh_pattern -i \.prz$ 43200 100% 43200 override-lastmod override-expire ignore-reload refresh_pattern -i \.ppt$ 43200 100% 43200 override-lastmod override-expire ignore-reload refresh_pattern -i \.doc$ 43200 100% 43200 override-lastmod override-expire ignore-reload refresh_pattern -i \.inf$ 43200 100% 43200 override-lastmod override-expire ignore-reload refresh_pattern -i \.swf$ 43200 100% 43200 override-lastmod override-expire ignore-reload refresh_pattern -i \.mid$ 43200 100% 43200 override-lastmod override-expire ignore-reload refresh_pattern -i \.wav$ 43200 100% 43200 override-lastmod override-expire ignore-reload refresh_pattern -i \.mp3$ 43200 100% 43200 override-lastmod override-expire ignore-reload refresh_pattern -i \.index.(html|htm)$ 0 40% 10080 refresh_pattern -i \.(html|htm|css|js)$ 1440 40% 40320 refresh_pattern . 0 40% 40320 Regards --ms
