That sounds like heap LRU policy, it is not fear to compare a squid out of the box with a solution that has a tunning in parameters. Pesonally, i've develop an algorithm to save you 30% of bandwith with some tunnings based on statistical measures. So it is easy, you dont have to waste money. LD http://www.twitter.com/ldlq
