I saw this one in the Squid mailing list, in a post by Rodrigo Freire.

Google Earth doesn’t “like” to be cached. However, doing so can save a lot of bandwidth, especially in a company where a lot of people use it – users can share the proxy server’s cache.

Here’s what you should add / change in your squid.conf file:

acl QUERY urlpath_regex cgi-bin \? intranet
acl forcecache url_regex -i kh.google keyhole.com
no_cache allow forcecache
no_cache deny QUERY

----
refresh_pattern -i kh.google 1440 20% 10080 override-expire override-lastmod reload-into-ims ignore-reload

refresh_pattern -i keyhole.com 1440 20% 10080 override-expire override-lastmod reload-into-ims ignore-reload


Warning: it’s only 2 lines after the "----". Both begin with "refresh pattern" and end with "ignore-reload". Your browser may have split each of them in two, so…

Note that you will probably need to change some of it to adapt it to your configuration – especially the "acl QUERY" line.
