You may modify the eBox squid configuration file template which is placed in /usr/share/ebox/stubs/squid/.

Take into account every eBox upgrade will overwrite this template, so back up your configuration modifications.

I know this used to work back in November when I configured those lines on an Ebox machine and then downloaded updates on one machine then the other 2 downloaded extremely quick from the Squid server.  However, it appears this no longer works as it now takes just as long on each machine to get new updates.  Does anybody know if M$ did something and if there is an easy alternative to cache updates again?

In Zentyal 2.0, these lines are always added to the squid.conf for caching windows and debian/ubuntu updates:

Code: [Select]

# windows updates
refresh_pattern http://.*\.windowsupdate\.microsoft\.com/ 0 80% 20160 reload-into-ims
refresh_pattern http://.*\.update\.microsoft\.com/ 0 80% 20160 reload-into-ims
refresh_pattern http://download\.microsoft\.com/ 0 80% 20160 reload-into-ims
refresh_pattern http://windowsupdate\.microsoft\.com/ 0 80% 20160 reload-into-ims
refresh_pattern http://office\.microsoft\.com/ 0 80% 20160 reload-into-ims
refresh_pattern http://w?xpsp[0-9]\.microsoft\.com/ 0 80% 20160 reload-into-ims
refresh_pattern http://w2ksp[0-9]\.microsoft\.com/ 0 80% 20160 reload-into-ims
# linux updates
refresh_pattern http://.*\.archive\.ubuntu\.com/ 0 80% 20160 reload-into-ims
refresh_pattern http://(ftp|http)[0-9]*\.[a-z]+\.debian\.org/ 0 80% 20160 reload-into-ims
So there should not be need of manually adding them, but if you any of these lines are wrong and you can contribute with a working ones it would be great.
