Hi,
my need is to have Squid caching request to my server like this:
* do NOT bother the server more then once per minute to check if an
update is available
* if the server return a 500, go into timeout or something like this
during an update keep sending the cached resource to the user
Ideally I would like to be able to turn off the server for maintenance
while the Squid frontend keep returning request.
I've been trying to achieve this for a while now without success.
Is this possible?
Can you address me in the right direction?
Thanks.
This is my configuration file (included in the main squid.conf):
Which currently cache updating every minute but start givin error after
that minute if the server is took down.
