Details
The "null" cache_dir type exists only to disable the builtin default cache_dir ufs location. Another simpler approach would be to have no builtin default cache location. The default is quite useless anyway and most often if only makes people think they do not need to configure the cache, and equally often people think they can disable the on-disk cache by removing their cache_dir lines from squid.conf and then getting quite surprised when the default kicks in.
