[squid-users] securing/configuring squid

Hello list,

Well, I just got squid up and running. My squid box here:
http://140.99.53.29/
is caching http://www.usachurch.com/ which is running on 140.99.53.27.

Here's some questions I have:

1. How should I lock down squid/acl so that it is as secure as possible?
I only want to be able to cache http://www.usachurch.com/ and to get things
working I added "http_access allow all" to the conf file, but I'm assuming
that is not the safest way to do things.

2. How do I go about using squid to cache ssl on port 443?

3. Is there any good FAQ/guides to help describe methods of specifying
which files/directories are not cached?

4. How do I tell squid to reload certain pages from their source at
a certain time,
or after a certain length of time?

5. With 1GB of ram dedicated to squid for caching this site, do you have any
recommendations on which memory replacement policy to use?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Regards,
Devin
