Cache + remote content

HI
is it possible to switch off cache for remote content?

Sounds such a simple thing :ph34r: , just cant find any info about it.

Yes, you can tell the Cache Manager not to cache Remote Content assets. This may not prevent Squid from caching the content though.

Would it make a difference if I had a no cache added to the design (header) that the remote content uses?

It should, if your Squid proxy is configured to not cache URLs that contain the string "_nocache" -- we usually recommend this be added to the Squid configuration.
