Using squid to cache windows, mcafee, ad-aware updates
« on: December 08, 2006, 01:53:27 AM »
Hi again.
The thought of building another server to put WSUS was just a bit much for me and an idea came to use squid to do this.  Unfortunatly my efforts have resulted in failure.  Im sure squid should be able to do this.

I have searched the forums and found the following thread that looked promising.

after editing my templates and expanding I now have the following /etc/squid/squid.conf file

I have used the following commands to rebuid squid
squid -k
no success

service squid stop
squid -z
service squid start
still nothing.

I am using windows update as the test.

thanks for taking a look at this.

please add feedback to the bug,

this value maybe a little high ?
maximum_object_size 1.2 GB

if you can try with and without the refresh_pattern as well to see if they are required
