I am already rotating my Squid for long time enough and never got any
problems.

I am also using reply_body_max_size to prevent users to download
big things :).
But since Squid is set not to limit downloads for local address
destination, my access.log file have grown fantastically

[root@proxy etc]# ls -l /var/logs/access.log.1
-rw-r--r-- 1 nobody root 418721213 Oct 19 00:00 /var/logs/access.log.1

Does exist a smart way to tell squid not cache or what if such request
occurs ?
