Refresh rules - Squid v2.0 - Suggested FAQ item

For those of you that want some pre-built refresh rules, here's some I
cooked up earlier:

What this means is that:
Most of my graphics, movies, sounds, archives, data files, java objects are
kept fresh for quite a while (since they rarely change).
Web pages are not kept fresh for too long but some should still stay fresh
and many should pass the IMS check.
Other objects are also checked with an IMS check before grabbing (kept fresh
for 10 minutes though).

Perhaps a few default configs for this would be nice for the FAQ....
