[squid-users] getting rid of 304's

Client ------> Squid -------> server (IIS)

We just put squid into play like this for a test we are doing. Prior to
the test the client would hit the server directly for its pages. The web
log showed the clients hits and downloading the pages, images...etc. We
then put squid inbetween them, and the server no longer shows the client
making the calls, sweet. It shows the proxy doing so, sweet.

The problem we are seeing is that the web server is showing a lot of
304's from the proxy , and the byte count in the log files for stuff
like images are the full size, as if the proxy is still pulling from the
server every couple seconds. What is misconfigured? We would like the
iis servers log file to show the occasional hit for the pages/gif files
from the proxy.

Any settings I should be running in the config file on squid to hold the
file sin cache longer?

Regards,
Nick
