Hi.. i have squid installed..
These days.. it is not working fine.. i have not changed anything but wht i m seeing that it is showing tcp_miss for even static sites..

Say i have opened a static site a hr ago..
then again opening it.. if it gives 40 request then i got only 2 or 3 tcp_hit all other are tcp_miss . it should be around 35 tcp_hit from 40 request ..
Why so..

Also tell me the step clearly taht how to make squid so that it checks less for object in cache to be fresh or not..
ie.. how to utilize cache more..

Thanx..

How large is your cache? And how much traffic are you getting to your cache machine? If you have a small cache and a few people using it, it may be pushing out content to quickly from your cache, it will always remove the oldest objects from you cache first so you could try increasing the cache size.

Of course if this is only being used at home or something like that then that proabably isn't the problem but just a stab in the dark.

I have a big LAN only 4 client computers.. accessing. it moreover only 2 or 3 access net through it at a time..
I have given 10GB partition for cache.. currently only 89 MB object are in cache.

Wht od u think ?
