Re: [squid-users] Split caching by size

Just tested and verified this. At least in Squid 3.0 minimum_object_size
affects both memory and disk caches. Anyone know if this is true in 3.1
as well? Any thoughts as to how to split it? I may be wrong and likely
am but I recall there was separate minimum_object_size for each cache at
one time.
