No, but that posting twice will not hasten a response when few people are
reading their email.

It's not restricted... I was suggesting your expectation of a response in
(from memory a 2 hours gap) on sunday afternoon was perhaps, unrealistic.

thank you.

My point there was that many readers of this list use Unix almost
exclusively, and may not use internet explorer at all.

I must have misread the question. Sorry.

Ok the TTL one we;ve covered.
I phrased myself badly for question 2.
When I said squid gets data from the origin server, I meant squid gets data
from the origin server, even if it has a copy in cache.
but remember that the browser-squid link and the squid-cache link are
dis-jointed, meaning that the browser never actually talks directly to the
origin server.
