I copied the old squid.conf and with some tweaks the squid3 works like a charm, but the only thing I was missing is a populated cache directory. And if no such a directory is needed, I won't create one, I think I don't need it here (just a few workstations here). One thing I noticed is that squid3 is much faster than 2.7, although I read somewhere on the net that 2.7 is slightly faster than squid3. One other question, I'm certainly not a squid guru: I'd like to use squid/squidGuard on an internal ipv4 network and provide ipv6 sites to ipv4-only clients, let's call it an "ipv6-to-ipv4 converter". Is that possible? Same search problem: the search parameters cause a lot of noise. Thnx for your time and answer!
