Unused objects or once-off requests just age out and disappear with zero bandwidth costs once they are no longer used. Squid only uses bandwidth if it is explicitly asked to by a client. So if nobody is using HTTP, there will not be anything happening. (There are two exceptions here - if you have a cache_peer configured, there may be netdb and cache-digest exchanges periodically between the proxies). If you are seeing HTTP usage during off-hours then it is the machinery of your network itself doing the requests. For this type of traffic you could setup a "time" type ACL in the miss_access directive to deny Internet usage during certain hours. This also leaves you with access.log entries to investigate what is going on in those off-hours. acl offline time MTWHFSU 02:00-08:00 miss_access deny offline miss_access allow all Amos _______________________________________________ squid-users mailing list squid-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.squid-cache.org/listinfo/squid-users
