Hello,
I'm runing Squid 1.1.14 as a transparent proxy/cache server on a Linux 
box.
I have about 16 dial-up lines and 20 LAN users. I don't know why my 
Squid hit 
ratio is too low (request: 6%; bytes: 3%). So, I would appreciate are 
any 
recommendation so as I could improve the hit rate please send mail to 
ttminh@hotmail.com.
Thanks.
Squid proxy configuration:
Hardware: Compaq Proliant 1500
          32 MB RAM
          2 GB Hardisk (900 MB for cache)
          Network card: 3C509
Software: Linux kernel version 2.0.0
          Squid 1.1.14
          Ip firewall (for transparent proxing)
Squid.conf files (attached to this message)
