 Yes rotate=n in 3.2 limits cache.log, if it should be smaller than
 access.log.

 logfile_rotate sets for all logs, the number to keep of each file
 output.

 If you are using a pre-packaged squid it is likely the distributor has
 set it to 0 and integrated with whatever OS log management is available.

 Question is though why your cache.log is getting so big in the first
 place. It should only have rare messages about serious problems.
