This would cause problems in the case of a host like ftp.netscape.com which resolves to many hosts: Name: ftp.netscape.com Addresses: 204.152.166.60, 204.152.166.61, 207.200.74.21, 207.200.74.22 209.143.199.10, 209.143.199.11, 209.143.199.12, 207.200.74.25, 207.200.74.26 207.200.71.59, 204.152.166.47 My service provider is using Squid 1.2 beta 25 currently. So, as David Cross suggests, wait for all the mirrors to be populated or connect straight to particular mirrors suchs as ftp3.netscape.com that are known to have the development versions. Now I can get Netscape to re-get a URL directly with shift-Reload, but how do you tell fetch to do the same thing ?? (for when the cache is reporting the wrong thing).
