That did it! Henrik, you are truly a Squid God!

One more question: is there a way I can do this automatically in the
future? I'm thinking that there ought to be a way to force a reload
by wget, but I don't see any option that might be appropriate.
Ideally, I would force a reload, by wget, at Squid start-up.

Any ideas?
