What I do is this:
I have two config files for squid, squid.conf.online and
squid.conf.offline and one squid.conf with is the same as the latter
one so that squid starts properly.
In /etc/ppp/ip-up.local I have something like this:
cd <path to squid conf file>
mv squid.conf.online squid.conf
../bin/squid -k reconfigure
In /etc/ppp/ip-down.local it looks like this
cd <path to squid conf file>
mv squid.conf.offline squid.conf
../bin/squid -k reconfigure
The only difference in those two config files is, that the online
version has one line with 'offline_mode off' in it, and the offline
version 'offline_mode on`.
But this doesn't work with every site, for example www.hotbot.com seems
to not be cached.
