But suddendly i realized that my cache hits has drop after i restarted the networking service quite a few times. At first i wasn't worried, but after an hour I got worried. Although calamaris is showing more byte hit % , unfortunately cachemgr.cgi is showing wrong value i guess. My operating system is a Ubuntu 10.10 server.
