It sets the IP address where Squid listens for ICP or HTCP queries.

Will eventually go away, instead allowing IP specifications in the
icp_port (and htcp_port) just as for http_port today.

cache_mem controls the size of the memory object cache. This is in
addition to the memory required for running and keeping track of the
disk cache.

ipcache stores domainname->ip lookups.

fqdncache stores ip->domainname lookups.

Controls the amount of debug information Squid logs in cache.log.

Leave it the default setting (ALL,1) until you find that you have need
for them to debug a problem. Usually you will be told to use a specific
setting by the developer that is trying to pinpoint the exact problem
you might be expiring.
