Re: [squid-users] cache as proxy

Hi, guys

I am using Squid-2.5.PRE10 on RedHat 7.2. I figured out to how to use squid
as only proxy.
I recomplied squid using --enable-storeio="null" and configured squid.conf
for "
cache_dir null /null".

1.
Still in access.log file I am getting TCP_MEM_HIT, means squid is still
caching objects in memory.
How can I force squid to NOT cache objects in memory ??

2.
I also found that, If I use squid as cache NOT as a proxy, and If I kill and
restart squid, still I am getting
TCP_MEM_HIT in log file. As far as I know, If I kill squid, it should
release all the objects from
memory. If I kill squid using "squid -k kill", Why do not squid release
objects from memory ?

Help appriciated...
