title: How to verify that Squid used as a reversed proxy is working?
body: <p>We want to decrease the load in one of our web servers and we are running some tests with squid configured as a reverse proxy.</p>
  <p>The configuration is in the remarks below:</p>
  <blockquote>
  <p>http_port 80 accel defaultsite=original.server.com</p>
  <p>cache_peer original.server.com parent 80 0 no-query originserver name=myAccel</p>
  <p>acl our_sites dstdomain .contentpilot.net</p>
  <p>http_access allow our_sites</p>
  <p>cache_peer_access myAccel allow our_sites</p>
  <p>cache_peer_access myAccel deny all</p>
  </blockquote>
  <p>The situation we are having is that pretty much the server is returning TCP_MISS almost all the time.</p>

  <p>We already tried removing all the cache memory.  Any ideas.  Could it be that my web site is marking some of the content different each time even though it has not change since the last time it was requested by the proxy?</p>
