In other words look into some way of "sticking" your cache clients to one proxy server. Setting up your cache-peer relationships as specified in (1) above should be sufficient. Misses will not cause an error message, and you will have a minimum of duplicated content between the peers. Just be sure to set up http_access rules such that the cache_peers are allowed to access each other's cache. Chris
