Here is my basic config. Using defaults for everything else. acl localnet src 172.16.0.0/12 http_access allow local_net maximum_object_size 25 MB Here is a log entry showing one connection from a LAN user through the proxy. I am guessing that the TCP_MISS is significant. Perhaps the original source is marked as Private as Chris suggested. Don't really know how to even tell that though. Can squid be forced to cache regardless of source settings? 1262645523.217 305633 172.17.0.152 TCP_MISS/200 11674081 GET http://www.sortmonster.net/master/Updates/test.xyz - DIRECT/74.205.4.93 application/x-sortmonster 1262645523.464 122 Mike -----Original Message----- From: Guido Marino Lorenzutti [mailto:glorenzutti@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, January 04, 2010 3:25 PM To: Mike Makowski Cc: squid-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Forward Cache not working logs from the hits to the squid? config files?
