Never on a HIT. Thus zero (0%) hit-ratio is > the expected behaviour. It is possible that a terminology clash affects Squid code and Squid output interpretation. There are two popular approaches: A. "Hit" means "served from the cache" or, more precisely, "the response is based on the cache entry present in the cache at the time of request interpretation". "Pure hits" (or similar) are served without an attempt to contact the origin server. "Revalidation hits" (or similar) are served after an attempt to check the cached entry freshness with the origin server (that did not result in replacing or removing the previously cached entry). B. "Hit" means served without an attempt to contact the origin server. Revalidation transactions are not hits (by definition). The above definitions are not precise and do not cover all use cases, but that is not important for highlighting the key difference between them. Many people, including Amos in his email quoted above AFAICT, are using approach "B". Many people, including myself, are using approach "A". Squid code, output, and documentation mix the two approaches, unfortunately. Be careful when you interpret what you see.
