[squid-users] Help with refresh_pattern?

Hello all,

This is a copy of a post I put up via Google Groups. Since I wasn't
subscribed at the time I'm not sure if it went through or not.

I've searched through the archives a bit and can't quite find what I'm
looking for. I'm trying to use some of the HTTP violating features
offered by squid. Specifically my refresh pattern is:

refresh_pattern . 10080 100% 20160 override-expire override-lastmod
ignore-no-cache ignore-private

I read that to mean that a document will be kept fresh for a minimum of
10080 minutes (7 days) and a maximum of 20160 minutes (14 days), or
100% of it's age. Further, any explicit Expire header should be
ignored, and the Last Modified header will be ignored if it falls out
of the range above. Finally, if a no-cache or private setting is used
in the Cache-control header, it will be ignored.

Have I got that mostly straight? Is there some fundamental problem with
my description?

I'm running squid 2.6.STABLE2 on FreeBSD 6.1. My configuration options
are below. You'll noticed I did not turn on --disable-http-violations.
Any help?
