Kemi,

I increased my hit ratio by running pages and script output
through a cacheability tool and taking corrective action as
required. The main thing was to add mod_expires and mod_headers to
my servers.

You can probably increase your hit ratio by increasing
the values of the refresh_pattern line(s).
