Hi,
You can do it a number of ways.
1) As already suggested, modify all the squid configs to change the
refresh-pattern.
2) Get your web server to serve meta-data with the pages that specifies
how long to cache the document. With Apache you config with
--enable-module=cern_meta
and add the Meta directives:
MetaFiles on
MetaDir .
MetaSuffix .meta
Then you can put the meta information in a file called whatever.doc.meta.
