I'm attempting to set up a local repository cache for dnf. The idea is for one machine on the network to download a package, then any other machine on the network attempting to acquire the package will receive it from the cache. I'm using squid for this, and currently have dnf requesting packages through the squid server, but squid is recording a miss every time. I'm unsure what is causing this, so I'll copy in the typical access.log message and relevant section of squid.conf.

I also noted that when I had it set up so my web browser was directed through squid, some things were cached. Once I set up the dnf only, nothing caches ever.
