  How will Squid know what's dynamic and what's static info ?
 
  Basically it's the responsability of the remote webserver
  to give freshness info about objects. Caches will obey
  this info and act accordingly when deciding objects should
  be updated or nor not.
  Checkout :

      http://www.mnot.net/cache_docs/

  for technical info.

  
  Google e.g. tells caches not to keep objects obtained
  from it's server by setting Cache-Control to 'private'.
  Check with :
