I mean, those two squid behind the layer 7 switch must conect on one side with the layer 7 switch, using the Virtual IP address, and on the other side with other two parent squid with their real IP address...or something like this! That's why I was asking if I should modify udp_incoming_address and udp_outgoing_address! But I have another doubt too: those two directives (udp_incoming_address and udp_outgoing_address) change the ip address that squid uses to make ICP queries, what happens after squid has queried using ICP, I mean, what address does it use to retrieve the content it needs from the parent_squid? Does it use the virtual IP address or the real one? Thanks you very much for you patience Henrik! Marco
