It would be nice to have SNMP counters that tracked cache hits and misses in terms of the number of bytes. This would allow me to see effective my proxy was at avoiding network traffic. That said, I'm unsure how I would account for requests to a web servers to test for object freshness, given that that is not a client request per se but rather a cache server "management" (or overhead). I think ultimately I'd like a accounting of every byte that comes/goes from remote web servers (so that would include freshness probes as well as object traffic) and an accounting of how much that would have been (i.e. add to the above the amount of traffic that was avoided by serving objects out of the cache) had the cache server not been there. Thots? b.
