One of the things you could do to test this is to do image searches on google. Load about 10 full sized LARGE images directly from the actual pages they are hosted on, then clear your browsers cache, and revisit the same images, you'll see them bursting from your squid cache and loading lightning fast. As opposed to when they originally had to download, its a crude manner of testing, but a visual test you can immediately appreciate. -- Signed, Fix Nichols http://squidblacklist.org
