Hi Friends,
Same question has been asked on the Squid mailing list but so far no reply on the mailing list so posting it here also.
We are trying to cache some files from apple.com like .dmg, .pkg, .ipa etc.. so that local clients can fetch the data from the cache. The problem we are facing is that we have download restrictions for every client to 25 MB during work hours except for a particular client. Now when this exception client downloads the files from apple.com it gets downloaded from the site and gets stored in the cache but as the download restrictions are for 25MB the files which are even in cache with size more than 25MB are not accessed by the other clients, if we remove download restriction for that client then the software gets downloaded.
Is there any way we can allow any client to access objects/files in cache without removing the download restriction. We are using Squid 2.6 on Centos 5 64-bit.
Cache configuration: cache_mem 128 MB maximum_object_size_in_memory 1024 KB cache_dir ufs /var/spool/squid 400000 16 256 maximum_object_size 4096 MB refresh_pattern -i .(deb|rpm|exe|zip|tar|tgz|ram|rar|bin|ppt|doc|tiff|dmg|pkg|ipa)$ 10080 90% 43200 override-expire ignore-no-cache ignore-private

Can you add a second squid instance configured so the one near the clients caches but does not apply restrictions and the upstream parent applies the restrictions but would not need to cache?

Not sure if I understand your goal but did you have a look at delay_pools? You would not restrict by size but by bandwidth...

Thanks Les. I will test your suggestion only thing I need to unable is sending the original source IP to the parent proxy and not the squid child proxy ip otherwise all the clients connected to child proxy will have unlimited download limit.
John,
Delay pools will not work in my case.. Thanks anyway..
Thanks & Regards
