You are most likely much better of setting up a standard HTTP server
then. There are HTTP servers which are both faster and smaller than
Squid. Also spend some time on getting the object headers right to make
best possible use of user or ISP cache servers.

If you think Squid is the most suitable tool after all, then the
offline_mode paramenter may do what you want, or aggresive tuning of
refresh_patters combined with ignore-reload.

Squid always stores the cached content on disk, and the current "memory
cache" is not very smart, especially not in your situation. However, if
you have plenty of ram then any modern OS will cache the files in ram.
