[CentOS] squid cache question

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.
