[squid-users] seemingly stupid question about cache_dir and TCP_HIT

Trying to setup a small local proxy for testing..

2.7 Stable7 on FreeBSD 32bit

here are the mem and cache entries from squid.conf..

# memory options
memory_pools off
cache_mem 1024 MB
maximum_object_size_in_memory 2 MB

## cache options
cache deny all
cache_dir null /tmp
cache_access_log /var/log/squid/access.log
cache_store_log none
cache_log /var/log/squid/cache.log
cache_mem 1024 MB
no_cache deny nocache
cache_effective_group squid
cache_effective_user squid

in short the TCP_HIT *never* happens..

341843 /var/log/squid/access.log
  60M /var/log/squid/access.log

and the log is rotated daily.. so we are using the proxy *heavily*..

> grep -c TCP_HIT /var/log/squid/access.log
0

> grep -c TCP_MISS /var/log/squid/access.log
327072

is it because I have the cache_dir disable the reason for the 0 TCP_HITs?

Thanks in advance.
