[squid-users] Why does squid 2.6 stable 16 running in accelerator mode NEVER caches html requests ?

Dear squid-cache.org,

I have three RHEL4 servers :

1. configured with squid 2.6 Version 2.6.STABLE16 in
accelerator mode
2. configured with (apache) httpd daemon
3. this machine has curl installed (to generate http
requests)

Each time I do curl http://omp.wc.be/home.html, I
notice that the WC ALLWAYS sends the reqeust to the
http server. It does NOT cache my home.html page.
If I remove the "always_direct allow all" statement
then I get the error back from WC that it is unable to
forward request.
I have :
"cache allow all" statement.
"refresh_pattern" but even if I comment it, I have the
same issue.

What is wrong in my configuration that the accelerator
does not cache the file, but always asks for it ?

note : 10.10.10.3 is the IP of the http server
       omp.wc.be is referenced as 10.10.10.3 by DNS.
       on curl-machine omp.wc.be is resolved as
12.1.1.1 (=listening interface on squid)
       note : home.html is only a one-line html page
with no cgi, ... in it !

Many thanks in advance !
