Hi!
I want squid to put different marks on IP packets belonging to a 
connection between a client (web browser) and squid, depending on
if the file requested is served from the cache or fetched from the web 
server. By doing this I can send objects from the cache at full
speed to the clients (because these requests don't consume bandwidth to 
my ISP). If the object is not found in the cache i wan't to limit
the bandwidth consumed for fetching the object. I think that if I use 
squid delay pools they will not affect traffic serverd from the cache,
and this is what I want. The problem is that not all the traffic is 
passing through squid. I hope this makes it a bit more clear.

After quite a bit of a search I found this which maybe of interest to
you.

http://www.squid-cache.org/mail-archive/squid-users/200005/0470.html

I think it basically states that delay pools only affect incoming data,
and therefore do not affect the rate of data retrieved that's already
cached.

HTH.

Chris
