[squid-users] Accelerator and ICP

I'm setting up a squid proxy to reduce load on a partner's origin servers. Right now I have two machines, and am using Apache mod_proxy, because it was quick to setup, but I'd like to switch to squid so I can check my cache peer before going to the origin server, and also generate better statistics. (The partner really wants us to reduce the amount of traffic going to their servers)

It looks like I definitely want to do something like

http_port 80
httpd_accel_host partner.example.org
httpd_accel_port 80

And maybe I need to add

httpd_accel_with_proxy on
cache_peer otherhost sibling 3128 3130

I'm worried that by adding httpd_accel_with_proxy on, I may be opening my servers up to proxy the world for everybody (especially if I don't write good acls)

Would it be better to setup squid as a 'regular' proxy on port 3128, and configure apache on port 80 to be an accelerator proxy using squid?

Thanks,

Richard
