I am not sure if I should start another thread with this - my apologies for bumping it . . . but in the last post I was looking to see if these 4 steps was a sensible method of telling the proxy to only cache certain sites: * > STEP 1/4 * > acl noproxy dstdomain .com .net .org <==== etc, etc. * > Would that work (would that be the way to 'wildcard' those domains)? * > > always_direct allow noproxy > cache deny noproxy * > STEP 2/4: * > Then for Each site, in particular, I want cached (like the Windows update > sites) create rules like this: > > cache allow windowsupdate > > NOTE: I chose 'windowsupdate' as that is what was used for the acl rules > on the FAQ page here >> > http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/WindowsUpdate > <http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/WindowsUpdate> > * > STEP 3/4 * > , Next I was thinking that I'd have to add is acl's for > acl windowsupdate dstdomain microsoft.com > acl windowsupdate dstdomain windowsupdate.com > acl windowsupdate dstdomain my.windowsupdate.website.com > > . . . as I see that those domains are part of the refresh rules for the > windows updates but not the acl's. > To be on the safe side I thought that I'd add them to make sure anything > that comes from there would be cached as per the * > cache allow windowsupdate * > rule. > > I am still wondering why they WERE NOT included in the group of acl's > listed on that page. > Comments on that? * > STEP 4/4 * > , Lastly, all I'd have to do is add an acl for sites that I want to be > cached in addition to the windows updates like so: > > acl windowsupdate dstdomain .mozilla.org > acl windowsupdate dstdomain .adobe.com > acl windowsupdate dstdomain .java.com > acl windowsupdate dstdomain .nvidia.com > etc, etc, etc, > > . . . Would THIS set up not cache ONLY the sites that I list, and by doing > so ensure that all the windows updates never get overwritten by the 'Daily > caching' of stuff I don't care about? > > Does that make sense?
