[squid-users] Squid conf review

Hi all

I am very much new to squid and I have just installed squid to be a
transparent proxy on my dialup (soon to be ADSL) connected box (which
currently works beautifully).

Another problem I have, is that I cant browse the caches it makes. For
example (I know this is comparing apples with pears, but its the only thing
I can think of) with wwwoffle, it has the facility to offline browsing. Is
there anyway to allow squid to do the day. I know its only a dialup
connection, but I really want to know \ learn squid.

I have pasted my conf file below, hoping that someone would be so kind as
too review it and if possible share where I can improve etc.
Any advice, critism, pointers etc would be most appreciated.

Kind Regards
Brent Clark
