Hi Henrik,
Thanks for your reply. I'm getting TCP_MISS/200 for these particular
requests so the file exists on the back-end, Squid seems unable to store the
object in cache (quite possible due to a lack of free fd's), or possibly due
to the high traffic volume. I've increased the number of fd's (from 100k to
150k), increased cache_mem from 512MB to 768MB and enabled cache_log to
check requests during busy peaks.
Is there any way to control the 'storm' of requests? I.e. Possibly force the
object to cache (regardless of pragma:no-cache etc) or have some sort of
timer / sleeper function to allow only a small number of requests, for a
particular request, to goto the backend?

Many thanks,
tookers
