Most of > the configurations are default. What do you mean by 'most'? A cache hit rate of 40% is not doing badly for a general purpose web proxy, but that number can vary a great deal depending on the particular traffic patterns you see. I'd advise you to set up cricket or cacti or mrtg to generate graphs of the statistics Squid generates for you -- using the built-in SNMP service= for that works pretty well. Looking at a graph gives you a much better idea of what is really happening than trying to intuit the results from reading a raw logfile. And pretty graphs keep managers amused and out of your hair for hours... Cheers, Matthew --=20 Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil.
