As well as these URLs, there are two excellent books on the topic of web caching. The first is Squid: The Definitive Guide (O'Reilly) by Duane Wessels, ISBN: 0-596-00162-2. The second is Web Caching (O'Reilly) also by Duane Wessels, ISBN: 1-56592-536-X.

Of the two, the former is more practical and covers the Squid server in depth. The latter is more theoretical, discussing how caching is implemented. Wessels is one of the leading developers on Squid, so both books are of impeccable technical accuracy.
