Is the edge server is reading from its cache?

How do I actually know that the edge server is reading from its cache and not connecting to the origin server after I have enable caching in Vhost.xml? I have tried disconnecting the origin server from the edge server so that the client directly retrieve data from the edge server 's cache. However it doesn't seems to work. Please advice.

    It's an interesting question as I didn't write that area and went to take a look to see if we're exposing hit/miss stats from the disk cache.  Alas we don't really.  If I were doing this with the software I had then I'd be measuring bandwidth from the edge to the origin.  Reliably, this falls off when the most popular content is brought to cache and it becomes a slow trickle of data later.  That's pretty unscientific I know - but it's the answer I have right now.
