HIT rate up ?!

Hello, there.

I have SQUID 2.2 STABLE3 on Solaris2.6,
and am looking for two solutions.

[ 1 ]
Currently, cache hit rate in our system is
about 15% in average, and total access number
is about 1million or less.
My users want SQUID to hit cache with higher hit rate
nowadays.

Is there any effective way to realize this demand?

[ 2 ]

Suppose, we already have a cache for some URL(URL_1)
in SQUID, and that information is as of yesterday.
(Concretely, Feb 8th's)

OK, today is Feb 9th, and it's early morning yet.
There are no users for cache of URL_1.
I'd like SQUID to update URL_1's cache information
automatically before no user access it.
(from Feb 8th's to Feb 9th's)

It makes my users to refer to updated contents for URL_1.
Should there be some configuration parameter in squid?

Please follow this mail soon.
Thanks.

Yari-ika means squid in Japanese.
