Re: [squid-users] Are "no_cache deny" and "http_access deny" redundant?

They are not the same, but the http_access DOES render the no_cache
useless. 'http_access deny' means it will not service any request
matching that acl (the client gets a permission denied message). no_cache
means it may still service the request, but squid will not save the
response to disk.

So... if you're going to ban requests to that domain entirely, there's not
much point in telling squid to not cache it.
