so if I load www.site.com on the squid server with a proxy set in internet explorer of 127.0.0.1:80 I can get the site and browse around, if I down the web server after and try the site after a long time I get an error "Connection to myAccel Failed ". I can't hit these test servers outside the lab as they are walled off, I can create another test computer in that network that I can use to test it external to the proxy server. I can see files in the cache folder, though on checking there is only one file "00000000" 9kb in size and the swap.state file. Permissions appear fine on the cache folder with system granted full access.
