[squid-users] help with simple web cache configuration

Hi,

I have been trying various configuration combination for days and
reading the FAQ and the configuration documentation trying to get a
basic web cache to work without much luck.

I have a department web site that I need to cache on some local systems,
I need to cache as much as possible to limit the bandwidth use. 90% of
the content is video .mov | .mp4 | .jpg files that loop in a sequence of
and over again which is why I don't want to have them download each time
they play. There is also a live RSS feed in the page the does need to
refresh all the time.

I have included my configuration that I have now. The web "clients" are
running openSUSE with squid 2.7.STABLE6-6.1 from a 4GB USB drive that
has about 800GB free, systems have 1GB or RAM ( which I have not gone to
go above 30% used ).

The store log seems to show media files with a "SWAPOUT" but when I look
at the network activity it looks like firefox is still down loading them.

The RSS is not update and is being cached ( which it shouldn't be ) Then
the .mov file startes play the store state seems to move to "RELEASE"

Hopefully someone can help.....

Most of this should be default.......
