Re: [squid-users] How to cache Windows Update files?

Thank you for your response.

I am using squid2.5stable5 version. if we make "on" the "reload_into_ims
on|off" then, will this become the global configuration?. If I want to make
"reload_into_ims on" only to particular "refresh_pattern" will it be
possible. Because if I want to make the client's "no-cache" or "reload"
requests to "IMS request" only to the microsoft update site, how is this
possible? Is there any solution to this?

Thanks
