[squid-users] Disallow client refresh?

Hi,

I use Squid in accelerator mode to cache dynamic content. But it seems that even if a fresh cached file is available, certain aggressive bots can cause a cache MISS. For that matter, I wouldn't mind disallowing a refresh to all user-agents except my own. If I could count on Squid to serve copies of ephemeral content, that would be easier on my database...

I tried this:

acl aggressive src xx.xxx.xx.xx
never-direct allow aggressive

but this only got them an error, since I have no neighbors or parent.

How should this be done?
  
TIA,
Ken
