+# If your apt-cacher machine is directly exposed to the Internet and you are
+# worried about unauthorised machines fetching packages through it, you can
+# specify a list of IPv4 addresses which are allowed to use it and another
+# list of IPv4 addresses which aren't.
+# Localhost (127.0.0.1) is always allowed. Other addresses must be matched
+# by allowed_hosts and not by denied_hosts to be permitted to use the cache.
+# Setting allowed_hosts to "*" means "allow all".
+# Otherwise the format is a comma-separated list containing addresses,
+# optionally with masks (like 10.0.0.0/22), or ranges of addresses (two
+# addresses separated by a hyphen, no masks, like '192.168.0.3-192.168.0.56').

+# And similarly for IPv6 with allowed_hosts_6 and denied_hosts_6.

+
+# Apt-cacher can generate usage reports every 24 hours if you set this
+# directive to 1. You can view the reports in a web browser by pointing
+# to your cache machine with '/apt-cacher/report' on the end, like this:
+#      http://yourcache.example.com/apt-cacher/report
+# Generating reports is very fast even with many thousands of logfile
+# lines, so you can safely turn this on without creating much 
+# additional system load.
+generate_reports=1
+
+# Apt-cacher can clean up its cache directory every 24 hours if you set
+# this directive to 1. Cleaning the cache can take some time to run
+# (generally in the order of a few minutes) and removes all package
+# files that are not mentioned in any existing 'Packages' lists. This
+# has the effect of deleting packages that have been superseded by an
+# updated 'Packages' list.

+
+# The directory to use for apt-cacher access and error logs.
+# The access log records every request in the format:
+# date-time|client ip address|HIT/MISS/EXPIRED|object size|object name
+# The error log is slightly more free-form, and is also used for debug
+# messages if debug mode is turned on.
+# Note that the old 'logfile' and 'errorfile' directives are
+# deprecated: if you set them explicitly they will be honoured, but it's
+# better to just get rid of them from old config files.
+logdir=/var/log/apt-cacher
+
+# apt-cacher can use different methods to decide whether package lists need to
+# be updated,
+# A) looking at the age of the cached files
+# B) getting HTTP header from server and comparing that with cached data. This
+# method is more reliable and avoids desynchronisation of data and index files
+# but needs to transfer few bytes from the server every time somebody requests
+# the files ("apt-get update")
+# Set the following value to the maximum age (in hours) for method A or to 0
+# for method B
+expire_hours=0
+
+# Apt-cacher can pass all its requests to an external http proxy like
+# Squid, which could be very useful if you are using an ISP that blocks
+# port 80 and requires all web traffic to go through its proxy. The
+# format is 'hostname:port', eg: 'proxy.example.com:8080'.
+#http_proxy=proxy.example.com:8080
+
+# Use of an external proxy can be turned on or off with this flag.
+# Value should be either 0 (off) or 1 (on).
+use_proxy=0
+
+# External http proxy sometimes need authentication to get full access. The
+# format is 'username:password'.
+#http_proxy_auth=proxyuser:proxypass
+
+# Use of external proxy authentication can be turned on or off with this flag.
+# Value should be either 0 (off) or 1 (on).
+use_proxy_auth=0

+# Specify an interface name, an IP address or a host name.

+# Rate limiting sets the maximum bandwidth in bytes per second to use
+# for fetching packages. Syntax is fully defined in 'man wget'.
+# Use 'k' or 'm' to use kilobytes or megabytes / second: eg, 'limit=25k'.
+# Use 0 or a negative value for no rate limiting.
+limit=0
+
+# Debug mode makes apt-cacher spew a lot of extra debug junk to the
+# error log (whose location is defined with the 'logdir' directive).
+# Leave this off unless you need it, or your error log will get very
+# big. Acceptable values are 0 or 1.
+debug=0
+
+# To enable data checksumming, install libberkeleydb-perl and set this option
+# to 1. Then wait until the Packages/Sources files have been refreshed once
+# (and so the database has been built up). You can also nuke them in the cache
+# to trigger the update.

+# Print a 410 (Gone) HTTP message with the specified text when accessed via
+# CGI. Useful to tell users to adapt their sources.list files when the

+
+# Server mapping - this allows to hide real server names behind virtual paths
+# that appear in the access URL. This method is known from apt-proxy. This is
+# also the only method to use FTP access to the target hosts. The syntax is
+# simple, the part of the beginning to replace, followed by a list of mirror
+# urls, all space separated. Multiple profile are separated by semicolons
+# Note that you need to specify all target servers in the allowed_locations
+# options if you make use of it. Also note that the paths should not overlap
+# each other. FTP access method not supported yet, maybe in the future.
