[squid-users] How to cache windowsupdate effective

Hi,

I am using squid cache 2.5 on FC3 Linux and would
like to reduce the Internet traffic for
windowsupdate. I found that there were many
TCP_MISS for windowsupdate (as shown below)
although I set a large value for maximum object
size (e.g. 600MB) and I was sure that a previous
user had got the update before.

1151634455.935 9740 10.144.11.88 TCP_MISS/200
833603 GET

Is there any way to cache the winodwsupdate so
effectively to minimize the Internet traffic?

Thanks a lot.
