        WELCOME TO SQUID @VERSION@
        ----------------------------

        This is the default Squid configuration file. You may wish
        to look at the Squid home page (http://www.squid-cache.org/)
        for the FAQ and other documentation.

        The default Squid config file shows what the defaults for
        various options happen to be.  If you don't need to change the
        default, you shouldn't uncomment the line.  Doing so may cause
        run-time problems.  In some cases "none" refers to no default
        setting at all, while in other cases it refers to a valid
        option - the comments for that keyword indicate if this is the
        case.

  Configuration options can be included using the "include" directive.
  Include takes a list of files to include. Quoting and wildcards is
  supported.

  For example,

  include /path/to/included/file/squid.acl.config

  Includes can be nested up to a hard-coded depth of 16 levels.
  This arbitrary restriction is to prevent recursive include references
  from causing Squid entering an infinite loop whilst trying to load
  configuration files.

 OPTIONS FOR AUTHENTICATION
 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
COMMENT_END

NAME: auth_param
TYPE: authparam
LOC: Config.authConfiguration
DEFAULT: none
DOC_START
        This is used to define parameters for the various authentication
        schemes supported by Squid.

        format: auth_param scheme parameter [setting]

        The order in which authentication schemes are presented to the client is
        dependent on the order the scheme first appears in config file. IE
        has a bug (it's not RFC 2617 compliant) in that it will use the basic
        scheme if basic is the first entry presented, even if more secure
        schemes are presented. For now use the order in the recommended
        settings section below. If other browsers have difficulties (don't
        recognize the schemes offered even if you are using basic) either
        put basic first, or disable the other schemes (by commenting out their
        program entry).

        Once an authentication scheme is fully configured, it can only be
        shutdown by shutting squid down and restarting. Changes can be made on
        the fly and activated with a reconfigure. I.E. You can change to a
        different helper, but not unconfigure the helper completely.

        Please note that while this directive defines how Squid processes
        authentication it does not automatically activate authentication.
        To use authentication you must in addition make use of ACLs based
        on login name in http_access (proxy_auth, proxy_auth_regex or
        external with %LOGIN used in the format tag). The browser will be
        challenged for authentication on the first such acl encountered
        in http_access processing and will also be re-challenged for new
        login credentials if the request is being denied by a proxy_auth
        type acl.

        WARNING: authentication can't be used in a transparently intercepting
        proxy as the client then thinks it is talking to an origin server and
        not the proxy. This is a limitation of bending the TCP/IP protocol to
        transparently intercepting port 80, not a limitation in Squid.
        Ports flagged 'transparent', 'intercept', or 'tproxy' have authentication
        disabled.

        === Parameters for the basic scheme follow. ===

        "program" cmdline
        Specify the command for the external authenticator.  Such a program
        reads a line containing "username password" and replies "OK" or
        "ERR" in an endless loop. "ERR" responses may optionally be followed
        by a error description available as %m in the returned error page.
        If you use an authenticator, make sure you have 1 acl of type proxy_auth.

        By default, the basic authentication scheme is not used unless a
        program is specified.

        If you want to use the traditional NCSA proxy authentication, set
        this line to something like

        auth_param basic program @DEFAULT_PREFIX@/libexec/ncsa_auth @DEFAULT_PREFIX@/etc/passwd

        "children" numberofchildren
        The number of authenticator processes to spawn. If you start too few
        Squid will have to wait for them to process a backlog of credential
        verifications, slowing it down. When password verifications are
        done via a (slow) network you are likely to need lots of
        authenticator processes.
        auth_param basic children 5

        "concurrency" concurrency
        The number of concurrent requests the helper can process.
        The default of 0 is used for helpers who only supports
        one request at a time. Setting this changes the protocol used to
        include a channel number first on the request/response line, allowing
        multiple requests to be sent to the same helper in parallell without
        wating for the response.
        Must not be set unless it's known the helper supports this.
        auth_param basic concurrency 0

        "realm" realmstring
        Specifies the realm name which is to be reported to the
        client for the basic proxy authentication scheme (part of
        the text the user will see when prompted their username and
        password). There is no default.
        auth_param basic realm Squid proxy-caching web server

        "credentialsttl" timetolive
        Specifies how long squid assumes an externally validated
        username:password pair is valid for - in other words how
        often the helper program is called for that user. Set this
        low to force revalidation with short lived passwords.  Note
        setting this high does not impact your susceptibility
        to replay attacks unless you are using an one-time password
        system (such as SecureID).  If you are using such a system,
        you will be vulnerable to replay attacks unless you also
        use the max_user_ip ACL in an http_access rule.

        "casesensitive" on|off
        Specifies if usernames are case sensitive. Most user databases are
        case insensitive allowing the same username to be spelled using both
        lower and upper case letters, but some are case sensitive. This
        makes a big difference for user_max_ip ACL processing and similar.
        auth_param basic casesensitive off

        === Parameters for the digest scheme follow ===

        "program" cmdline
        Specify the command for the external authenticator.  Such
        a program reads a line containing "username":"realm" and
        replies with the appropriate H(A1) value hex encoded or
        ERR if the user (or his H(A1) hash) does not exists.
        See rfc 2616 for the definition of H(A1).
        "ERR" responses may optionally be followed by a error description
        available as %m in the returned error page.

        By default, the digest authentication scheme is not used unless a
        program is specified.

        If you want to use a digest authenticator, set this line to
        something like

        auth_param digest program @DEFAULT_PREFIX@/bin/digest_auth_pw @DEFAULT_PREFIX@/etc/digpass

        "children" numberofchildren
        The number of authenticator processes to spawn (no default).
        If you start too few Squid will have to wait for them to
        process a backlog of H(A1) calculations, slowing it down.
        When the H(A1) calculations are done via a (slow) network
        you are likely to need lots of authenticator processes.
        auth_param digest children 5

        "realm" realmstring
        Specifies the realm name which is to be reported to the
        client for the digest proxy authentication scheme (part of
        the text the user will see when prompted their username and
        password). There is no default.
        auth_param digest realm Squid proxy-caching web server

        "nonce_garbage_interval" timeinterval
        Specifies the interval that nonces that have been issued
        to client_agent's are checked for validity.

        "nonce_max_duration" timeinterval
        Specifies the maximum length of time a given nonce will be
        valid for.

        "nonce_max_count" number
        Specifies the maximum number of times a given nonce can be
        used.

        "nonce_strictness" on|off
        Determines if squid requires strict increment-by-1 behavior
        for nonce counts, or just incrementing (off - for use when
        useragents generate nonce counts that occasionally miss 1
        (ie, 1,2,4,6)). Default off.

        "check_nonce_count" on|off
        This directive if set to off can disable the nonce count check
        completely to work around buggy digest qop implementations in
        certain mainstream browser versions. Default on to check the
        nonce count to protect from authentication replay attacks.

        "post_workaround" on|off
        This is a workaround to certain buggy browsers who sends
        an incorrect request digest in POST requests when reusing
        the same nonce as acquired earlier on a GET request.

        === NTLM scheme options follow ===

        "program" cmdline
        Specify the command for the external NTLM authenticator.
        Such a program reads exchanged NTLMSSP packets with
        the browser via Squid until authentication is completed.
        If you use an NTLM authenticator, make sure you have 1 acl
        of type proxy_auth.  By default, the NTLM authenticator_program
        is not used.

        auth_param ntlm program @DEFAULT_PREFIX@/bin/ntlm_auth

        "children" numberofchildren
        The number of authenticator processes to spawn (no default).
        If you start too few Squid will have to wait for them to
        process a backlog of credential verifications, slowing it
        down. When credential verifications are done via a (slow)
        network you are likely to need lots of authenticator
        processes.

        auth_param ntlm children 5

        "keep_alive" on|off
        If you experience problems with PUT/POST requests when using the
        Negotiate authentication scheme then you can try setting this to
        off. This will cause Squid to forcibly close the connection on
        the initial requests where the browser asks which schemes are
        supported by the proxy.

        auth_param ntlm keep_alive on

        === Options for configuring the NEGOTIATE auth-scheme follow ===

        "program" cmdline
        Specify the command for the external Negotiate authenticator.
        This protocol is used in Microsoft Active-Directory enabled setups with
        the Microsoft Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox browsers.
        Its main purpose is to exchange credentials with the Squid proxy
        using the Kerberos mechanisms.
        If you use a Negotiate authenticator, make sure you have at least one acl
        of type proxy_auth active.  By default, the negotiate authenticator_program
        is not used.
        The only supported program for this role is the ntlm_auth
        program distributed as part of Samba, version 4 or later.

        auth_param negotiate program @DEFAULT_PREFIX@/bin/ntlm_auth --helper-protocol=gss-spnego

        "children" numberofchildren
        The number of authenticator processes to spawn (no default).
        If you start too few Squid will have to wait for them to
        process a backlog of credential verifications, slowing it
        down. When crendential verifications are done via a (slow)
        network you are likely to need lots of authenticator
        processes.
        auth_param negotiate children 5

        "keep_alive" on|off
        If you experience problems with PUT/POST requests when using the
        Negotiate authentication scheme then you can try setting this to
        off. This will cause Squid to forcibly close the connection on
        the initial requests where the browser asks which schemes are
        supported by the proxy.

NAME: authenticate_cache_garbage_interval
TYPE: time_t
DEFAULT: 1 hour
LOC: Config.authenticateGCInterval
DOC_START
        The time period between garbage collection across the username cache.
        This is a tradeoff between memory utilization (long intervals - say
        2 days) and CPU (short intervals - say 1 minute). Only change if you
        have good reason to.
DOC_END

NAME: authenticate_ttl
TYPE: time_t
DEFAULT: 1 hour
LOC: Config.authenticateTTL
DOC_START
        The time a user & their credentials stay in the logged in
        user cache since their last request. When the garbage
        interval passes, all user credentials that have passed their
        TTL are removed from memory.
DOC_END

NAME: authenticate_ip_ttl
TYPE: time_t
LOC: Config.authenticateIpTTL
DEFAULT: 0 seconds
DOC_START
        If you use proxy authentication and the 'max_user_ip' ACL,
        this directive controls how long Squid remembers the IP
        addresses associated with each user.  Use a small value
        (e.g., 60 seconds) if your users might change addresses
        quickly, as is the case with dialups.   You might be safe
        using a larger value (e.g., 2 hours) in a corporate LAN
        environment with relatively static address assignments.

                        character.

        In addition to the above, any string specified in the referencing
        acl will also be included in the helper request line, after the
        specified formats (see the "acl external" directive)

        The helper receives lines per the above format specification,
        and returns lines starting with OK or ERR indicating the validity
        of the request and optionally followed by additional keywords with
        more details.

        General result syntax:

          OK/ERR keyword=value ...

        Defined keywords:

          user=         The users name (login)
          password=     The users password (for login= cache_peer option)
          message=      Message describing the reason. Available as %o
                        in error pages
          tag=          Apply a tag to a request (for both ERR and OK results)
                        Only sets a tag, does not alter existing tags.
          log=          String to be logged in access.log. Available as
                        %ea in logformat specifications

        If protocol=3.0 (the default) then URL escaping is used to protect
        each value in both requests and responses.

        If using protocol=2.5 then all values need to be enclosed in quotes
        if they may contain whitespace, or the whitespace escaped using \.
        And quotes or \ characters within the keyword value must be \ escaped.

        When using the concurrency= option the protocol is changed by
        introducing a query channel tag infront of the request/response.
        The query channel tag is a number between 0 and concurrency-1.

NAME: follow_x_forwarded_for

IFDEF: FOLLOW_X_FORWARDED_FOR
LOC: Config.accessList.followXFF
DEFAULT: none
DEFAULT_IF_NONE: deny all
DOC_START
        Allowing or Denying the X-Forwarded-For header to be followed to
        find the original source of a request.

        Requests may pass through a chain of several other proxies
        before reaching us.  The X-Forwarded-For header will contain a
        comma-separated list of the IP addresses in the chain, with the
        rightmost address being the most recent.

        If a request reaches us from a source that is allowed by this
        configuration item, then we consult the X-Forwarded-For header
        to see where that host received the request from.  If the
        X-Forwarded-For header contains multiple addresses, and if
        acl_uses_indirect_client is on, then we continue backtracking
        until we reach an address for which we are not allowed to
        follow the X-Forwarded-For header, or until we reach the first
        address in the list.  (If acl_uses_indirect_client is off, then
        it's impossible to backtrack through more than one level of
        X-Forwarded-For addresses.)

        The end result of this process is an IP address that we will
        refer to as the indirect client address.  This address may
        be treated as the client address for access control, delay
        pools and logging, depending on the acl_uses_indirect_client,
        delay_pool_uses_indirect_client and log_uses_indirect_client
        options.

        SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS:

                Any host for which we follow the X-Forwarded-For header
                can place incorrect information in the header, and Squid
                will use the incorrect information as if it were the
                source address of the request.  This may enable remote
                hosts to bypass any access control restrictions that are
                based on the client's source addresses.

        For example:

                acl localhost src 127.0.0.1
                acl my_other_proxy srcdomain .proxy.example.com
                follow_x_forwarded_for allow localhost

LOC: Config.ReplyBodySize
DOC_START
        This option specifies the maximum size of a reply body. It can be
        used to prevent users from downloading very large files, such as
        MP3's and movies. When the reply headers are received, the
        reply_body_max_size lines are processed, and the first line where
        all (if any) listed ACLs are true is used as the maximum body size
        for this reply.

        This size is checked twice. First when we get the reply headers,
        we check the content-length value.  If the content length value exists
        and is larger than the allowed size, the request is denied and the
        user receives an error message that says "the request or reply
        is too large." If there is no content-length, and the reply
        size exceeds this limit, the client's connection is just closed
        and they will receive a partial reply.

        WARNING: downstream caches probably can not detect a partial reply
        if there is no content-length header, so they will cache
        partial responses and give them out as hits.  You should NOT
        use this option if you have downstream caches.

        WARNING: A maximum size smaller than the size of squid's error messages
        will cause an infinite loop and crash squid. Ensure that the smallest
        non-zero value you use is greater that the maximum header size plus
        the size of your largest error page.

        If you set this parameter none (the default), there will be
        no limit imposed.

        The socket addresses where Squid will listen for HTTP client
        requests.  You may specify multiple socket addresses.
        There are three forms: port alone, hostname with port, and
        IP address with port.  If you specify a hostname or IP
        address, Squid binds the socket to that specific
        address.  This replaces the old 'tcp_incoming_address'
        option.  Most likely, you do not need to bind to a specific
        address, so you can use the port number alone.

        If you are running Squid in accelerator mode, you
        probably want to listen on port 80 also, or instead.

        The -a command line option may be used to specify additional
        port(s) where Squid listens for proxy request. Such ports will
        be plain proxy ports with no options.

        You may specify multiple socket addresses on multiple lines.

        Options:

           intercept    Support for IP-Layer interception of
                        outgoing requests without browser settings.

        If you run Squid on a dual-homed machine with an internal

        TOS/DSCP values really only have local significance - so you should
        know what you're specifying. For more information, see RFC2474 and
        RFC3260.

        The TOS/DSCP byte must be exactly that - a octet value  0 - 255, or
        "default" to use whatever default your host has. Note that in
        practice often only values 0 - 63 is usable as the two highest bits
        have been redefined for use by ECN (RFC3168).

        IPv6 Magic:

        Squid is built with a capability of bridging the IPv4 and IPv6 internets.
        tcp_outgoing_address as exampled above breaks this bridging by forcing
        all outbound traffic through a certain IPv4 which may be on the wrong
        side of the IPv4/IPv6 boundary.

        To operate with tcp_outgoing_address and keep the bridging benefits
        an additional ACL needs to be used which ensures the IPv6-bound traffic
        is never forced or permitted out the IPv4 interface.

        acl to_ipv6 dst ipv6
        tcp_outgoing_address 2002::c001 good_service_net to_ipv6
        tcp_outgoing_address 10.1.0.2 good_service_net !to_ipv6

DEFAULT: none
LOC: Config.ssl_client.cert_error
TYPE: acl_access
DOC_START
        Use this ACL to bypass server certificate validation errors.

        For example, the following lines will bypass all validation errors
        when talking to servers located at 172.16.0.0/16. All other
        validation errors will result in ERR_SECURE_CONNECT_FAIL error.

                acl BrokenServersAtTrustedIP dst 172.16.0.0/16
                sslproxy_cert_error allow BrokenServersAtTrustedIP

        This option must use fast ACL expressions only. Expressions that use
        external lookups or communication result in unpredictable behavior or
        crashes.

        Without this option, all server certificate validation errors
        terminate the transaction. Bypassing validation errors is dangerous
        because an error usually implies that the server cannot be trusted and
        the connection may be insecure.

                     use 'proxy-only' to specify objects fetched
                     from this cache should not be saved locally.

                     use 'weight=n' to affect the selection of a peer
                     during any weighted peer-selection mechanisms.
                     The weight must be an integer; default is 1,
                     larger weights are favored more.
                     This option does not affect parent selection if a peering
                     protocol is not in use.

                     use 'basetime=n' to specify a base amount to
                     be subtracted from round trip times of parents.
                     It is subtracted before division by weight in calculating
                     which parent to fectch from. If the rtt is less than the
                     base time the rtt is set to a minimal value.

                     use 'ttl=n' to specify a IP multicast TTL to use
                     when sending an ICP queries to this address.
                     Only useful when sending to a multicast group.
                     Because we don't accept ICP replies from random
                     hosts, you must configure other group members as
                     peers with the 'multicast-responder' option below.

                     use 'no-query' to NOT send ICP queries to this
                     neighbor.

                     use 'background-ping' to only send ICP queries to this
                     neighbor infrequently. This is used to keep the neighbor
                     round trip time updated and is usually used in
                     conjunction with weighted-round-robin.

                     use 'default' if this is a parent cache which can
                     be used as a "last-resort" if a peer cannot be located
                     by any of the peer-selection mechanisms.
                     If specified more than once, only the first is used.

                     use 'round-robin' to define a set of parents which
                     should be used in a round-robin fashion in the
                     absence of any ICP queries.

                     use 'weighted-round-robin' to define a set of parents
                     which should be used in a round-robin fashion with the
                     frequency of each parent being based on the round trip
                     time. Closer parents are used more often.
                     Usually used for background-ping parents.

                     use 'carp' to define a set of parents which should
                     be used as a CARP array. The requests will be
                     distributed among the parents based on the CARP load
                     balancing hash function based on their weight.

                     use 'userhash' to load-balance amongst a set of parents
                     based on the client proxy_auth or ident username.

                     use 'sourcehash' to load-balance amongst a set of parents
                     based on the client source ip.

                     'multicast-responder' indicates the named peer
                     is a member of a multicast group.  ICP queries will
                     not be sent directly to the peer, but ICP replies
                     will be accepted from it.

                     'closest-only' indicates that, for ICP_OP_MISS
                     replies, we'll only forward CLOSEST_PARENT_MISSes
                     and never FIRST_PARENT_MISSes.

                     use 'no-digest' to NOT request cache digests from
                     this neighbor.

                     'no-netdb-exchange' disables requesting ICMP
                     RTT database (NetDB) from the neighbor.

                     use 'no-delay' to prevent access to this neighbor
                     from influencing the delay pools.

                     use 'login=user:password' if this is a personal/workgroup
                     proxy and your parent requires proxy authentication.
                     Note: The string can include URL escapes (i.e. %20 for
                     spaces). This also means % must be written as %%.

                     use 'login=PASS' if users must authenticate against
                     the upstream proxy or in the case of a reverse proxy
                     configuration, the origin web server.  This will pass
                     the users credentials as they are to the peer.
                     This only works for the Basic HTTP authentication scheme.
                     Note: To combine this with proxy_auth both proxies must
                     share the same user database as HTTP only allows for
                     a single login (one for proxy, one for origin server).
                     Also be warned this will expose your users proxy
                     password to the peer. USE WITH CAUTION

                     use 'login=*:password' to pass the username to the
                     upstream cache, but with a fixed password. This is meant
                     to be used when the peer is in another administrative
                     domain, but it is still needed to identify each user.
                     The star can optionally be followed by some extra
                     information which is added to the username. This can
                     be used to identify this proxy to the peer, similar to
                     the login=username:password option above.

                     use 'connect-timeout=nn' to specify a peer
                     specific connect timeout (also see the
                     peer_connect_timeout directive)

                     use 'digest-url=url' to tell Squid to fetch the cache
                     digest (if digests are enabled) for this host from
                     the specified URL rather than the Squid default
                     location.

                     use 'allow-miss' to disable Squid's use of only-if-cached
                     when forwarding requests to siblings. This is primarily
                     useful when icp_hit_stale is used by the sibling. To
                     extensive use of this option may result in forwarding
                     loops, and you should avoid having two-way peerings
                     with this option. (for example to deny peer usage on
                     requests from peer by denying cache_peer_access if the
                     source is a peer)

                     use 'max-conn=n' to limit the amount of connections Squid
                     may open to this peer.

                     use 'htcp' to send HTCP, instead of ICP, queries
                     to the neighbor.  You probably also want to
                     set the "icp port" to 4827 instead of 3130.
                     You MUST also set htcp_access expicitly. The default of
                     deny all will prevent peer traffic.

                     use 'htcp-oldsquid' to send HTCP to old Squid versions
                     You MUST also set htcp_access expicitly. The default of
                     deny all will prevent peer traffic.                     

                     use 'htcp-no-clr' to send HTCP to the neighbor but without
                     sending any CLR requests.  This cannot be used with
                     htcp-only-clr.
                
                     use 'htcp-no-purge-clr' to send HTCP to the neighbor
                     including CLRs but only when they do not result from
                     PURGE requests.
                
                     use 'htcp-only-clr' to send HTCP to the neighbor but ONLY
                     CLR requests.  This cannot be used with htcp-no-clr.
                
                     use 'htcp-forward-clr' to forward any HTCP CLR requests
                     this proxy receives to the peer.

                     'originserver' causes this parent peer to be contacted as
                     a origin server. Meant to be used in accelerator setups.

                     use 'name=xxx' if you have multiple peers on the same
                     host but different ports. This name can be used to
                     differentiate the peers in cache_peer_access and similar
                     directives.

                     use 'forceddomain=name' to forcibly set the Host header
                     of requests forwarded to this peer. Useful in accelerator
                     setups where the server (peer) expects a certain domain
                     name and using redirectors to feed this domain name
                     is not feasible.

                     use 'ssl' to indicate connections to this peer should
                     be SSL/TLS encrypted.

                     use 'sslcert=/path/to/ssl/certificate' to specify a client
                     SSL certificate to use when connecting to this peer.

                     use 'sslkey=/path/to/ssl/key' to specify the private SSL
                     key corresponding to sslcert above. If 'sslkey' is not
                     specified 'sslcert' is assumed to reference a
                     combined file containing both the certificate and the key.

                     use sslversion=1|2|3|4 to specify the SSL version to use
                     when connecting to this peer
                        1 = automatic (default)
                        2 = SSL v2 only
                        3 = SSL v3 only
                        4 = TLS v1 only

                     use sslcipher=... to specify the list of valid SSL ciphers
                     to use when connecting to this peer.

                     use ssloptions=... to specify various SSL engine options:
                        NO_SSLv2  Disallow the use of SSLv2
                        NO_SSLv3  Disallow the use of SSLv3
                        NO_TLSv1  Disallow the use of TLSv1
                     See src/ssl_support.c or the OpenSSL documentation for
                     a more complete list.

                     use sslcafile=... to specify a file containing
                     additional CA certificates to use when verifying the
                     peer certificate.

                     use sslcapath=... to specify a directory containing
                     additional CA certificates to use when verifying the
                     peer certificate.

                     use sslcrlfile=... to specify a certificate revocation
                     list file to use when verifying the peer certificate.
                     
                     use sslflags=... to specify various flags modifying the
                     SSL implementation:
                        DONT_VERIFY_PEER
                                Accept certificates even if they fail to
                                verify.
                        NO_DEFAULT_CA
                                Don't use the default CA list built in
                                to OpenSSL.
                        DONT_VERIFY_DOMAIN
                                Don't verify the peer certificate
                                matches the server name

                     use ssldomain= to specify the peer name as advertised
                     in it's certificate. Used for verifying the correctness
                     of the received peer certificate. If not specified the
                     peer hostname will be used.

                     use front-end-https to enable the "Front-End-Https: On"
                     header needed when using Squid as a SSL frontend in front
                     of Microsoft OWA. See MS KB document Q307347 for details
                     on this header. If set to auto the header will
                     only be added if the request is forwarded as a https://
                     URL.

NAME: cache_peer_domain cache_host_domain
TYPE: hostdomain
DEFAULT: none
LOC: none
DOC_START
        Use to limit the domains for which a neighbor cache will be
        queried.  Usage:

        cache_peer_domain cache-host domain [domain ...]
        cache_peer_domain cache-host !domain

        For example, specifying

                cache_peer_domain parent.foo.net        .edu

        has the effect such that UDP query packets are sent to
        'bigserver' only when the requested object exists on a
        server in the .edu domain.  Prefixing the domainname
        with '!' means the cache will be queried for objects
        NOT in that domain.

        NOTE:   * Any number of domains may be given for a cache-host,
                  either on the same or separate lines.
                * When multiple domains are given for a particular
                  cache-host, the first matched domain is applied.
                * Cache hosts with no domain restrictions are queried
                  for all requests.
                * There are no defaults.
                * There is also a 'cache_peer_access' tag in the ACL

        usage: neighbor_type_domain neighbor parent|sibling domain domain ...

        Modifying the neighbor type for specific domains is now
        possible.  You can treat some domains differently than the the
        default neighbor type specified on the 'cache_peer' line.
        Normally it should only be necessary to list domains which
        should be treated differently because the default neighbor type
        applies for hostnames which do not match domains listed here.

EXAMPLE:
        cache_peer cache.foo.org parent 3128 3130
        neighbor_type_domain cache.foo.org sibling .com .net
        neighbor_type_domain cache.foo.org sibling .au .de

NAME: dead_peer_timeout
COMMENT: (seconds)
DEFAULT: 10 seconds
TYPE: time_t
LOC: Config.Timeout.deadPeer
DOC_START
        This controls how long Squid waits to declare a peer cache
        as "dead."  If there are no ICP replies received in this
        amount of time, Squid will declare the peer dead and not
        expect to receive any further ICP replies.  However, it
        continues to send ICP queries, and will mark the peer as
        alive upon receipt of the first subsequent ICP reply.

        This timeout also affects when Squid expects to receive ICP
        replies from peers.  If more than 'dead_peer' seconds have
        passed since the last ICP reply was received, Squid will not
        expect to receive an ICP reply on the next query.  Thus, if
        your time between requests is greater than this timeout, you
        will see a lot of requests sent DIRECT to origin servers
        instead of to your parents.

        'cache_mem' specifies the ideal amount of memory to be used
        for:
                * In-Transit objects
                * Hot Objects
                * Negative-Cached objects

        Data for these objects are stored in 4 KB blocks.  This
        parameter specifies the ideal upper limit on the total size of
        4 KB blocks allocated.  In-Transit objects take the highest
        priority.

        In-transit objects have priority over the others.  When
        additional space is needed for incoming data, negative-cached
        and hot objects will be released.  In other words, the
        negative-cached and hot objects will fill up any unused space
        not needed for in-transit objects.

        If circumstances require, this limit will be exceeded.
        Specifically, if your incoming request rate requires more than
        'cache_mem' of memory to hold in-transit objects, Squid will
        exceed this limit to satisfy the new requests.  When the load
        decreases, blocks will be freed until the high-water mark is
        reached.  Thereafter, blocks will be used to store hot
        objects.

NAME: cache_replacement_policy
TYPE: removalpolicy
LOC: Config.replPolicy
DEFAULT: lru
DOC_START
        The cache replacement policy parameter determines which
        objects are evicted (replaced) when disk space is needed.

            lru       : Squid's original list based LRU policy
            heap GDSF : Greedy-Dual Size Frequency
            heap LFUDA: Least Frequently Used with Dynamic Aging
            heap LRU  : LRU policy implemented using a heap

        Applies to any cache_dir lines listed below this.

        The LRU policies keeps recently referenced objects.

        The heap GDSF policy optimizes object hit rate by keeping smaller
        popular objects in cache so it has a better chance of getting a
        hit.  It achieves a lower byte hit rate than LFUDA though since
        it evicts larger (possibly popular) objects.

        The heap LFUDA policy keeps popular objects in cache regardless of
        their size and thus optimizes byte hit rate at the expense of
        hit rate since one large, popular object will prevent many
        smaller, slightly less popular objects from being cached.

        Both policies utilize a dynamic aging mechanism that prevents
        cache pollution that can otherwise occur with frequency-based
        replacement policies.

        NOTE: if using the LFUDA replacement policy you should increase
        the value of maximum_object_size above its default of 4096 KB to
        to maximize the potential byte hit rate improvement of LFUDA.

NAME: cache_dir
TYPE: cachedir
DEFAULT: none
LOC: Config.cacheSwap
DOC_START
        Usage:

        cache_dir Type Directory-Name Fs-specific-data [options]

        You can specify multiple cache_dir lines to spread the
        cache among different disk partitions.

        Type specifies the kind of storage system to use. Only "ufs"
        is built by default. To enable any of the other storage systems
        see the --enable-storeio configure option.

        'Directory' is a top-level directory where cache swap
        files will be stored.  If you want to use an entire disk
        for caching, this can be the mount-point directory.
        The directory must exist and be writable by the Squid
        process.  Squid will NOT create this directory for you.

        The ufs store type:

        "ufs" is the old well-known Squid storage format that has always
        been there.

        cache_dir ufs Directory-Name Mbytes L1 L2 [options]

        'Mbytes' is the amount of disk space (MB) to use under this
        directory.  The default is 100 MB.  Change this to suit your
        configuration.  Do NOT put the size of your disk drive here.
        Instead, if you want Squid to use the entire disk drive,
        subtract 20% and use that value.

        'Level-1' is the number of first-level subdirectories which
        will be created under the 'Directory'.  The default is 16.

        'Level-2' is the number of second-level subdirectories which
        will be created under each first-level directory.  The default
        is 256.

        The aufs store type:

        "aufs" uses the same storage format as "ufs", utilizing
        POSIX-threads to avoid blocking the main Squid process on
        disk-I/O. This was formerly known in Squid as async-io.

        cache_dir aufs Directory-Name Mbytes L1 L2 [options]

        see argument descriptions under ufs above

        The diskd store type:

        "diskd" uses the same storage format as "ufs", utilizing a
        separate process to avoid blocking the main Squid process on
        disk-I/O.

        cache_dir diskd Directory-Name Mbytes L1 L2 [options] [Q1=n] [Q2=n]

        see argument descriptions under ufs above

        Q1 specifies the number of unacknowledged I/O requests when Squid
        stops opening new files. If this many messages are in the queues,
        Squid won't open new files. Default is 64

        Q2 specifies the number of unacknowledged messages when Squid
        starts blocking.  If this many messages are in the queues,
        Squid blocks until it receives some replies. Default is 72

        When Q1 < Q2 (the default), the cache directory is optimized
        for lower response time at the expense of a decrease in hit
        ratio.  If Q1 > Q2, the cache directory is optimized for
        higher hit ratio at the expense of an increase in response
        time.

        The coss store type:

        block-size=n defines the "block size" for COSS cache_dir's.
        Squid uses file numbers as block numbers.  Since file numbers
        are limited to 24 bits, the block size determines the maximum
        size of the COSS partition.  The default is 512 bytes, which
        leads to a maximum cache_dir size of 512<<24, or 8 GB.  Note
        you should not change the coss block size after Squid
        has written some objects to the cache_dir.

        The coss file store has changed from 2.5. Now it uses a file
        called 'stripe' in the directory names in the config - and
        this will be created by squid -z.

        Common options:

        no-store, no new objects should be stored to this cache_dir

        max-size=n, refers to the max object size this storedir supports.
        It is used to initially choose the storedir to dump the object.
        Note: To make optimal use of the max-size limits you should order
        the cache_dir lines with the smallest max-size value first and the
        ones with no max-size specification last.

        Note for coss, max-size must be less than COSS_MEMBUF_SZ,
        which can be changed with the --with-coss-membuf-size=N configure
        option.

        increase this (one 32 MB object hit counts for 3200 10KB
        hits).  If you wish to increase speed more than your want to
        save bandwidth you should leave this low.

        NOTE: if using the LFUDA replacement policy you should increase
        this value to maximize the byte hit rate improvement of LFUDA!

        Replacement begins when the swap (disk) usage is above the

        low-water mark.  As swap utilization gets close to high-water
        mark object eviction becomes more aggressive.  If utilization is
        close to the low-water mark less replacement is done each time.

        Defaults are 90% and 95%. If you have a large cache, 5% could be
        hundreds of MB. If this is the case you may wish to set these
        numbers closer together.

        Location for the cache "swap.state" file. This index file holds
        the metadata of objects saved on disk.  It is used to rebuild
        the cache during startup.  Normally this file resides in each
        'cache_dir' directory, but you may specify an alternate
        pathname here.  Note you must give a full filename, not just
        a directory. Since this is the index for the whole object
        list you CANNOT periodically rotate it!

        If %s can be used in the file name it will be replaced with a
        a representation of the cache_dir name where each / is replaced
        with '.'. This is needed to allow adding/removing cache_dir
        lines when cache_swap_log is being used.

        If have more than one 'cache_dir', and %s is not used in the name
        these swap logs will have names such as:

                cache_swap_log.00
                cache_swap_log.01
                cache_swap_log.02

        The numbered extension (which is added automatically)
        corresponds to the order of the 'cache_dir' lines in this
        configuration file.  If you change the order of the 'cache_dir'
        lines in this file, these index files will NOT correspond to
        the correct 'cache_dir' entry (unless you manually rename
        them).  We recommend you do NOT use this option.  It is

        disable the file name rotation, but the logfiles are still closed
        and re-opened. This will enable you to rename the logfiles
        yourself just before sending the rotate signal.

        Note, the 'squid -k rotate' command normally sends a USR1
        signal to the running squid process.  In certain situations
        (e.g. on Linux with Async I/O), USR1 is used for other
        purposes, so -k rotate uses another signal.  It is best to get

        Logging options are set as section,level where each source file
        is assigned a unique section.  Lower levels result in less
        output,  Full debugging (level 9) can result in a very large
        log file, so be careful.  The magic word "ALL" sets debugging
        levels for all sections.  We recommend normally running with
        "ALL,1".

        FTP Protocol extensions permit the use of a special "EPSV ALL" command.

        NATs may be able to put the connection on a "fast path" through the
        translator, as the EPRT command will never be used and therefore,
        translation of the data portion of the segments will never be needed.

        When a client only expects to do two-way FTP transfers this may be useful.
        If squid finds that it must do a three-way FTP transfer after issuing
        an EPSV ALL command, the FTP session will fail.

        If you have any doubts about this option do not use it.

        In the future, the rewriter interface will be extended with
        key=value pairs ("kvpairs" shown above).  Rewriter programs
        should be prepared to receive and possibly ignore additional
        whitespace-separated tokens on each input line.

        And the rewriter may return a rewritten URL. The other components of
        the request line does not need to be returned (ignored if they are).

        The rewriter can also indicate that a client-side redirect should
        be performed to the new URL. This is done by prefixing the returned

        By default, regular expressions are CASE-SENSITIVE.  To make

        'Min' is the time (in minutes) an object without an explicit
        expiry time should be considered fresh. The recommended
        value is 0, any higher values may cause dynamic applications
        to be erroneously cached unless the application designer
        has taken the appropriate actions.

        'Percent' is a percentage of the objects age (time since last
        modification age) an object without explicit expiry time
        will be considered fresh.

        'Max' is an upper limit on how long objects without an explicit
        expiry time will be considered fresh.

                override-expire enforces min age even if the server
                sent an explicit expiry time (e.g., with the
                Expires: header or Cache-Control: max-age). Doing this
                VIOLATES the HTTP standard.  Enabling this feature
                could make you liable for problems which it causes.

                override-lastmod enforces min age even on objects
                that were modified recently.

                reload-into-ims changes client no-cache or ``reload''
                to If-Modified-Since requests. Doing this VIOLATES the
                HTTP standard. Enabling this feature could make you
                liable for problems which it causes.

                ignore-reload ignores a client no-cache or ``reload''

                it causes.

                ignore-no-cache ignores any ``Pragma: no-cache'' and
                ``Cache-control: no-cache'' headers received from a server.
                The HTTP RFC never allows the use of this (Pragma) header
                from a server, only a client, though plenty of servers
                send it anyway.

                ignore-no-store ignores any ``Cache-control: no-store''
                headers received from a server. Doing this VIOLATES
                the HTTP standard. Enabling this feature could make you
                liable for problems which it causes.

                ignore-private ignores any ``Cache-control: private''
                headers received from a server. Doing this VIOLATES
                the HTTP standard. Enabling this feature could make you
                liable for problems which it causes.

                ignore-auth caches responses to requests with authorization,
                as if the originserver had sent ``Cache-control: public''
                in the response header. Doing this VIOLATES the HTTP standard.
                Enabling this feature could make you liable for problems which
                it causes.

                refresh-ims causes squid to contact the origin server
                when a client issues an If-Modified-Since request. This
                ensures that the client will receive an updated version
                if one is available.

        Basically a cached object is:

                FRESH if expires < now, else STALE
                STALE if age > max
                FRESH if lm-factor < percent, else STALE
                FRESH if age < min
                else STALE

        The refresh_pattern lines are checked in the order listed here.
        The first entry which matches is used.  If none of the entries
        match the default will be used.

        Note, you must uncomment all the default lines if you want

        The cache by default continues downloading aborted requests

        may be undesirable on slow (e.g. SLIP) links and/or very busy
        caches.  Impatient users may tie up file descriptors and
        bandwidth by repeatedly requesting and immediately aborting
        downloads.

        When the user aborts a request, Squid will check the
        quick_abort values to the amount of data transfered until
        then.

        If the transfer has less than 'quick_abort_min' KB remaining,
        it will finish the retrieval.

        If the transfer has more than 'quick_abort_max' KB remaining,

        If more than 'quick_abort_pct' of the transfer has completed,
        it will finish the retrieval.

DOC_START
        Microsoft Internet Explorer up until version 5.5 Service
        Pack 1 has an issue with transparent proxies, wherein it
        is impossible to force a refresh.  Turning this on provides
        a partial fix to the problem, by causing all IMS-REFRESH
        requests from older IE versions to check the origin server
        for fresh content.  This reduces hit ratio by some amount
        (~10% in my experience), but allows users to actually get
        fresh content when they want it.  Note because Squid
        cannot tell if the user is using 5.5 or 5.5SP1, the behavior
        of 5.5 is unchanged from old versions of Squid (i.e. a
        forced refresh is impossible).  Newer versions of IE will,
        hopefully, continue to have the new behavior and will be
        handled based on that assumption.  This option defaults to
        the old Squid behavior, which is better for hit ratios but
        worse for clients using IE, if they need to be able to
        force fresh content.

        Set this directive to on if you have clients which insists
        on sending request entities in GET or HEAD requests. But be warned
        that there is server software (both proxies and web servers) which
        can fail to properly process this kind of request which may make you

        This option replaces the old 'anonymize_headers' and the
        older 'http_anonymizer' option with something that is much
        more configurable. This new method creates a list of ACLs

        You can only specify known headers for the header name.
        Other headers are reclassified as 'Other'. You can also
        refer to all the headers with 'All'.

        For example, to achieve the same behavior as the old

        The maximum amount of time a client (browser) is allowed to
        remain connected to the cache process.  This protects the Cache
        from having a lot of sockets (and hence file descriptors) tied up
        in a CLOSE_WAIT state from remote clients that go away without
        properly shutting down (either because of a network failure or
        because of a poor client implementation).  The default is one
        day, 1440 minutes.

        NOTE:  The default value is intended to be much larger than any
        client would ever need to be connected to your cache.  You
        should probably change client_lifetime only as a last resort.
        If you seem to have many client connections tying up

        request_timeout, persistent_request_timeout and quick_abort values.

        connections are kept open until a read(2) or write(2) on the

 delay_pools 4      # 4 delay pools
 delay_class 1 2    # pool 1 is a class 2 pool
 delay_class 2 3    # pool 2 is a class 3 pool
 delay_class 3 4    # pool 3 is a class 4 pool
 delay_class 4 5    # pool 4 is a class 5 pool

        The delay pool classes are:

                class 1         Everything is limited by a single aggregate
                                bucket.

                class 2         Everything is limited by a single aggregate
                                bucket as well as an "individual" bucket chosen
                                from bits 25 through 32 of the IP address.

                class 3         Everything is limited by a single aggregate
                                bucket as well as a "network" bucket chosen
                                from bits 17 through 24 of the IP address and a
                                "individual" bucket chosen from bits 17 through
                                32 of the IP address.

                class 4         Everything in a class 3 delay pool, with an
                                additional limit on a per user basis. This
                                only takes effect if the username is established
                                in advance - by forcing authentication in your
                                http_access rules.

                class 5         Requests are grouped according their tag (see
                                external_acl's tag= reply).

        NOTE: If an IP address is a.b.c.d
                -> bits 25 through 32 are "d"
                -> bits 17 through 24 are "c"

NAME: delay_access
TYPE: delay_pool_access
DEFAULT: none
IFDEF: DELAY_POOLS
LOC: Config.Delay
DOC_START
        This is used to determine which delay pool a request falls into.

        delay_access is sorted per pool and the matching starts with pool 1,
        then pool 2, ..., and finally pool N. The first delay pool where the
        request is allowed is selected for the request. If it does not allow
        the request to any pool then the request is not delayed (default).

        For example, if you want some_big_clients in delay
        pool 1 and lotsa_little_clients in delay pool 2:

Example:
 delay_access 1 allow some_big_clients
 delay_access 1 deny all
 delay_access 2 allow lotsa_little_clients
 delay_access 2 deny all
 delay_access 3 allow authenticated_clients
DOC_END

NAME: delay_parameters
TYPE: delay_pool_rates

IFDEF: DELAY_POOLS
LOC: Config.Delay
DOC_START
        This defines the parameters for a delay pool.  Each delay pool has
        a number of "buckets" associated with it, as explained in the
        description of delay_class.  For a class 1 delay pool, the syntax is:

delay_parameters pool aggregate

        For a class 2 delay pool:

delay_parameters pool aggregate individual

        For a class 3 delay pool:

delay_parameters pool aggregate network individual

        For a class 4 delay pool:

delay_parameters pool aggregate network individual user

        For a class 5 delay pool:

delay_parameters pool tag

        The variables here are:

                pool            a pool number - ie, a number between 1 and the
                                number specified in delay_pools as used in
                                delay_class lines.

                aggregate       the "delay parameters" for the aggregate bucket
                                (class 1, 2, 3).

                individual      the "delay parameters" for the individual
                                buckets (class 2, 3).

                network         the "delay parameters" for the network buckets
                                (class 3).

                user            the delay parameters for the user buckets
                                (class 4).

                tag             the delay parameters for the tag buckets
                                (class 5).

        A pair of delay parameters is written restore/maximum, where restore is
        the number of bytes (not bits - modem and network speeds are usually
        quoted in bits) per second placed into the bucket, and maximum is the
        maximum number of bytes which can be in the bucket at any time.

        For example, if delay pool number 1 is a class 2 delay pool as in the
        above example, and is being used to strictly limit each host to 64kbps
        (plus overheads), with no overall limit, the line is:

delay_parameters 1 -1/-1 8000/8000

        Note that the figure -1 is used to represent "unlimited".

        And, if delay pool number 2 is a class 3 delay pool as in the above
        example, and you want to limit it to a total of 256kbps (strict limit)
        with each 8-bit network permitted 64kbps (strict limit) and each
        individual host permitted 4800bps with a bucket maximum size of 64kb
        to permit a decent web page to be downloaded at a decent speed
        (if the network is not being limited due to overuse) but slow down
        large downloads more significantly:

delay_parameters 2 32000/32000 8000/8000 600/8000

        There must be one delay_parameters line for each delay pool.

        Finally, for a class 4 delay pool as in the example - each user will
        be limited to 128Kb no matter how many workstations they are logged into.:

delay_parameters 4 32000/32000 8000/8000 600/64000 16000/16000

        WCCP2 allows for multiple traffic services. There are two

        one service id - http (id 0). The dynamic service ids can be from
        51 to 255 inclusive.  In order to use a dynamic service id
        one must define the type of traffic to be redirected; this is done
        using the wccp2_service_info option.

        The "standard" type does not require a wccp2_service_info option,
        just specifying the service id will suffice.

        MD5 service authentication can be enabled by adding
        "password=<password>" to the end of this service declaration.

        Examples:

        it is probably okay to set this to 'on'.
        If set to 'on', your siblings should use the option "allow-miss"

        This can be used to return a ERR_ page for requests which
        do not pass the 'http_access' rules.  Squid remembers the last
        acl it evaluated in http_access, and if a 'deny_info' line exists
        for that ACL Squid returns a corresponding error page.

        The acl is typically the last acl on the http_access deny line which
        denied access. The exceptions to this rule are:
        - When Squid needs to request authentication credentials. It's then
          the first authentication related acl encountered
        - When none of the http_access lines matches. It's then the last
          acl processed on the last http_access line.

        NP: If providing your own custom error pages with error_directory
            you may also specify them by your custom file name:
            Example: deny_info ERR_CUSTOM_ACCESS_DENIED bad_guys

        Alternatively you can specify an error URL. The browsers will
        get redirected (302) to the specified URL. %s in the redirection
        URL will be replaced by the requested URL.

        Alternatively you can tell Squid to reset the TCP connection
        by specifying TCP_RESET.

NAME: nonhierarchical_direct

DOC_START
        By default, Squid will send any non-hierarchical requests
        (matching hierarchy_stoplist or not cacheable request type) direct
        to origin servers.

        If you set this to off, Squid will prefer to send these
        requests to parents.

        Note that in most configurations, by turning this off you will only
        add latency to these request without any improvement in global hit
        ratio.

        If you are inside an firewall see never_direct instead of
        this directive.
DOC_END

NAME: prefer_direct
TYPE: onoff
LOC: Config.onoff.prefer_direct
DEFAULT: off
DOC_START
        Normally Squid tries to use parents for most requests. If you for some
        reason like it to first try going direct and only use a parent if
        going direct fails set this to on.

        By combining nonhierarchical_direct off and prefer_direct on you
        can set up Squid to use a parent as a backup path if going direct
        fails.

        Note: If you want Squid to use parents for all requests see
        the never_direct directive. prefer_direct only modifies how Squid
        acts on cacheable requests.
DOC_END

NAME: always_direct
TYPE: acl_access
LOC: Config.accessList.AlwaysDirect
DEFAULT: none
DOC_START
        Usage: always_direct allow|deny [!]aclname ...

        Here you can use ACL elements to specify requests which should
        ALWAYS be forwarded by Squid to the origin servers without using
        any peers.  For example, to always directly forward requests for
        local servers ignoring any parents or siblings you may have use
        something like:

                acl local-servers dstdomain my.domain.net
                always_direct allow local-servers

        To always forward FTP requests directly, use

                acl FTP proto FTP
                always_direct allow FTP

        NOTE: There is a similar, but opposite option named
        'never_direct'.  You need to be aware that "always_direct deny
        foo" is NOT the same thing as "never_direct allow foo".  You
        may need to use a deny rule to exclude a more-specific case of
        some other rule.  Example:

                acl local-external dstdomain external.foo.net
                acl local-servers dstdomain  .foo.net
                always_direct deny local-external
                always_direct allow local-servers

        NOTE: If your goal is to make the client forward the request
        directly to the origin server bypassing Squid then this needs
        to be done in the client configuration. Squid configuration
        can only tell Squid how Squid should fetch the object.

        NOTE: This directive is not related to caching. The replies
        is cached as usual even if you use always_direct. To not cache
        the replies see no_cache.

        This option replaces some v1.1 options such as local_domain
        and local_ip.
DOC_END

NAME: never_direct
TYPE: acl_access
LOC: Config.accessList.NeverDirect
DEFAULT: none
DOC_START
        Usage: never_direct allow|deny [!]aclname ...

        never_direct is the opposite of always_direct.  Please read
        the description for always_direct if you have not already.

        With 'never_direct' you can use ACL elements to specify
        requests which should NEVER be forwarded directly to origin
        servers.  For example, to force the use of a proxy for all
        requests, except those in your local domain use something like:

                acl local-servers dstdomain .foo.net
                never_direct deny local-servers
                never_direct allow all

        or if Squid is inside a firewall and there are local intranet
        servers inside the firewall use something like:

                acl local-intranet dstdomain .foo.net
                acl local-external dstdomain external.foo.net
                always_direct deny local-external
                always_direct allow local-intranet
                never_direct allow all

        This option replaces some v1.1 options such as inside_firewall
        and firewall_ip.

              (e.g., based on the ICAP Transfer-Ignore header).

        When a set_name is used, all services in the set are checked
        using the same rules, to find the first applicable one. See
        adaptation_service_set for details.

        If an access list is checked and there is a match, the
        processing stops: For an "allow" rule, the corresponding
        adaptation service is used for the transaction. For a "deny"
        rule, no adaptation service is activated.

        Standard practice with DNS is to lookup either A or AAAA records
        and use the results if it succeeds. Only looking up the other if
        the first attempt fails or otherwise produces no results.

        That policy however will cause squid to produce error pages for some
        servers that advertise AAAA but are unreachable over IPv6.

        If this is ON  squid will always lookup both AAAA and A, using both.
        If this is OFF squid will lookup AAAA and only try A if none found.

        WARNING: There are some possibly unwanted side-effects with this on:
                *) Doubles the load placed by squid on the DNS network.

DOC_START
        Used only with memory_pools on:
        memory_pools_limit 50 MB

        If set to a non-zero value, Squid will keep at most the specified
        limit of allocated (but unused) memory in memory pools. All free()
        requests that exceed this limit will be handled by your malloc
        library. Squid does not pre-allocate any memory, just safe-keeps
        objects that otherwise would be free()d. Thus, it is safe to set
        memory_pools_limit to a reasonably high value even if your
        configuration will use less memory.

        If set to zero, Squid will keep all memory it can. That is, there
        will be no limit on the total amount of memory used for safe-keeping.

        To disable memory allocation optimization, do not set
        memory_pools_limit to 0. Set memory_pools to "off" instead.

        An overhead for maintaining memory pools is not taken into account
        when the limit is checked. This overhead is close to four bytes per
        object kept. However, pools may actually _save_ memory because of
        reduced memory thrashing in your malloc library.

DEFAULT: none
DOC_START
        Use this to have Squid do a chroot() while initializing.  This
        also causes Squid to fully drop root privileges after
        initializing.  This means, for example, if you use a HTTP
        port less than 1024 and try to reconfigure, you will may get an
        error saying that Squid can not open the port.

NAME: balance_on_multiple_ip
TYPE: onoff
LOC: Config.onoff.balance_on_multiple_ip
DEFAULT: off
DOC_START
        Modern IP resolvers in squid sort lookup results by preferred access.
        By default squid will use these IP in order and only rotates to
        the next listed when the most preffered fails.

        Some load balancing servers based on round robin DNS have been
        found not to preserve user session state across requests
        to different IP addresses.

        Enabling this directive Squid rotates IP's per request.

NAME: pipeline_prefetch
TYPE: onoff
LOC: Config.onoff.pipeline_prefetch
DEFAULT: off
DOC_START
        To boost the performance of pipelined requests to closer
        match that of a non-proxied environment Squid can try to fetch
        up to two requests in parallel from a pipeline.

        Defaults to off for bandwidth management and access logging
        reasons.

NAME: high_response_time_warning
TYPE: int
COMMENT: (msec)
LOC: Config.warnings.high_rptm
DEFAULT: 0
DOC_START
        If the one-minute median response time exceeds this value,
        Squid prints a WARNING with debug level 0 to get the
        administrators attention.  The value is in milliseconds.
DOC_END

NAME: high_page_fault_warning
TYPE: int
LOC: Config.warnings.high_pf
DEFAULT: 0
DOC_START
        If the one-minute average page fault rate exceeds this
        value, Squid prints a WARNING with debug level 0 to get
        the administrators attention.  The value is in page faults
        per second.
DOC_END

NAME: high_memory_warning
TYPE: b_size_t
LOC: Config.warnings.high_memory
DEFAULT: 0 KB
DOC_START
        If the memory usage (as determined by mallinfo) exceeds
        this amount, Squid prints a WARNING with debug level 0 to get
        the administrators attention.
DOC_END

NAME: sleep_after_fork
COMMENT: (microseconds)
TYPE: int
LOC: Config.sleep_after_fork
DEFAULT: 0
DOC_START
        When this is set to a non-zero value, the main Squid process
        sleeps the specified number of microseconds after a fork()
        system call. This sleep may help the situation where your
        system reports fork() failures due to lack of (virtual)
        memory. Note, however, if you have a lot of child
        processes, these sleep delays will add up and your
        Squid will not service requests for some amount of time
        until all the child processes have been started.
        On Windows value less then 1000 (1 milliseconds) are
        rounded to 1000.

NAME: windows_ipaddrchangemonitor
COMMENT: on|off
TYPE: onoff
DEFAULT: on
LOC: Config.onoff.WIN32_IpAddrChangeMonitor
DOC_START
        On Windows Squid by default will monitor IP address changes and will 
        reconfigure itself after any detected event. This is very useful for
        proxies connected to internet with dial-up interfaces.
        In some cases (a Proxy server acting as VPN gateway is one) it could be
        desiderable to disable this behaviour setting this to 'off'.
        Note: after changing this, Squid service must be restarted.
