Yes indeed.

"ttl_pattern ^http:// 7200 80% 10080"
"ttl_pattern ^ftp:// 10080 80% 10080"
"ttl_pattern \.gif$ 10080 80% 10080"
"ttl_pattern /cgi-bin/ 0 0% 10080"

Here's mine which is a little less agressive.
I am thinking of increasing the TTL to even higher,
but I risk the possiblity of having stale objects
in the cache.
