getting squid to refresh package lists

I have set up a squid proxy server to cache for my home LAN. It is serving old package lists to pacman when I want to update a PC.

I have tried adding the following to /etc/squid/squid.conf

refresh_pattern \.pacman$       0       0%      0

Is there another pattern I could try to use, rather than \.pacman$  ...? I do not know what the file names of the package lists are.

Is 'refresh_pattern' the right way to keep the package lists from being cached?
