How to optimize cacheing? (II)

        Sorry for all typos in the previus message:

        The Facts:

        4Gigabytes (not 4Megabytes) cache space
        2Gigabytes (not 2Megabytes) maximun cache size occupancy

        Server Pentium 133Mhz BSDI 64Mb Ram

        Peak requests/hour ~ about 14000
        MEan requests/hour ~ about 9000

        11 redirectors
         5 DNS servers

        (it looks like there is no need for more of these)

        IPcache size 2048 elements

        refresh_pattern . 30 80% 40320
        
        Average cache efficiency .29 (not .26)

        Answers from my previous question showed cache
        efficiencies of 43% and 60% in other sites.

        Regards,
