Squid is caching content, but it is NOT serving cache to my clients and
frankly its driving me nuts, I dont need a 101 on squid, I just need a
basic conf. I wish the devs would include a basic transparent cache
proxy conf with squid to save noobs like me the trouble. My clients are
MANUALLY aimed at the proxy at port 3128, they can surf just fine, so NAT is
NOT required on the box, I just need a conf that actually WORKS. This is
getting absurd, I dont understand why its not serving up cached content, I
download ANYTHING you know 13mb exe files from a site, then go download the
same file on another pc and BAM!! fresh content NOT served from the cache,
wtf am I doing wrong here!?!?!?!
Ive tried several confs and they all FAIL to actually serve up cache, below
is my latest attempt.
