Then it'll take into account large OS update, such as Windows update and various GNu/Linux updates. It's not uncommon to have a Service Pack of 100 MB, and if I'm not mistaken, the default squid cache doesn't cache files that large. It didn't used to the last time I configured squid from scratch. :-)=
As far as I know, any later values will override any earlier values. 
(Unless it's something like an ACL which isn't overriden as it adds to 
the ACL).
The default squid config I ship is basically the default one with 
Debian, it really does need tuning for each situation, as small embedded 
systems can crash from too much being cached!
