Hi Amos & the mailing list,

sorry for my late response. thank you for your answer. Are you sure, it could not be caused by the round-robin option to the cache_peer parents?

I have reports from several departments that this was not happening with the single instance proxy we had previously.
now we have this random reloads of pages - causing for example several hundred thousand hits on some machines :/

thank you for your time

stefan
