[squid-users] questions: cache_dir null & refresh_pattern

hi, I have some questions regarding two topics:

1) i compiled squid with support for cache_dir and used cache_dir null /tmp
this works fine.
now, if I use cache_dir null and make some requests, then I get TCP_MEM_HITs
in access_log. does the cache_dir null directive only means: no caching on
disk but still in memory???

so in order to cache nothing, I must use a no_cache deny all ???

is this right?

2) i have seen, that the usage of refresh_pattern defaults have changed from
2.4 to 2.5. but I am not sure if I understand it correctly (henrik also
answered me something in this stuff):
in 2.4, the three lines (for ftp, gopher and .) are used as default,
nevertheless they are outcommented or not. right?
in 2.5, if I outcomment them, they are not used. right?

if so and if i let the outcommented, what happens then to requests? is still
a default line used (. 0 20% 4320)?

thx in advance,
alp
