Subject: Cache not being flushed

Hello

I'd be grateful to anyone who can help me with this problem. Our
cache isn't being cleaned out and seems to continue growing beyond the
limit I specified. Its now 639 MB. Is this a bug or have I merely
configured it incorrectly. This is our httpd.conf file

protection prot-proxy {
serverid www.leeds.ac.uk
mask @(129.11.*.*)

}

protect http:* prot-proxy
protect gopher:* prot-proxy
protect ftp:* prot-proxy
protect wais:* prot-proxy

pass http:*
pass gopher:*
pass ftp:*
pass wais:*
