AFAIK, There isn't a way to convert the 1.1 cache contents to squid-2..
there are other ways you can go about transfering the objects across.
ie)setting up another cache server to use the existing one as a parent
etc. However if you only have one cache box, then I believe you will
need to nuke the current cache and start over. This probably won't hurt
that much if your cache isn't too big, and you aren't paying through
the nose for data. I'd recommend making the move sooner rather than later.

anyone else feel free to add to this should i be incorrect here.
