more info:
I have the proxy running on port 8000. when i make request via the browser, i cannot get those pages to show up in the url database - these are the lines form the error log

[26/Feb/2010:16:14:54] fine ( 9416): GC: partition index : 0, changed blocks : 0but i did get the url database to populate when i setup a "cache batch update" but even those urls, are not served from the cache when i try to access them via the browser - I am using Firefox - seems like when i make the request via the browser, the cache is not being used.

i was missing the reverse mapping - that fixed the issue.
